Washington Capitals get it right with South Carolina Stingrays
The Washington Capitals have extended their ECHL affliction agreement with the South Carolina Stingrays through the 2025 26 season. The 2023 24 season will mark the 10th consecutive season that the two clubs have been afflicted.
The Caps were also afflicted with the Stingrays from 2004 through 2012. In the 17 total seasons, South Carolina has missed the playoffs just twice. The Stingrays won the Kelly Cup in 2009, the same year that the Hershey Bears won the AHL’s Calder Cup and have won three consecutive conference championships since 2015.
This season, South Carolina finished first in the ECHL’s South Division and second in the Eastern Conference with a 45-22-4-1 record.
