Capitals invite former teammate Taylor Chorney to dinner and deliver an incredible surprise.

This is what hockey is all about.

The name Taylor Chorney may not mean a lot to you but it means a great deal to the defending Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals and over the week end they proved just how much it means to them. When you play on a team you are part of a brotherhood, and for 3 years Taylor Chorney was a part of the Washington Capitals brotherhood, until he wasn't. You see the Capitals made the extremely difficult decision of placing Chorney on waivers shortly before they went on their eventual Stanley Cup winning run, and unfortunately for Chorney he was claimed by the Columbus Blue Jackets and never got a taste of that sweet,sweet, victory.

To make matters worse since being picked up by the Blue Jackets he has only seen action in a single NHL game, so not only did he have a championship opportunity stolen from him, he has also had his opportunities at the NHL level in general severely cut back. The Capitals players however had no intention of leaving him behind, and when he visited the team this week they had a very special surprise planned for him.

I'm sure by this time you can guess what happens next, but it doesn't make it any less special. It certainly was for Chorney as you can literally see his hands shaking in the video.
