Along with the Kansas City Scouts, the Capitals joined the National Hockey League as an expansion team for the 1974\u201375 season. The team was owned by Abe Pollin, owner of the NBA's Washington Bullets. Pollin had built the Capital Centre in suburban Landover, Maryland, to house both the Bullets (who formerly played in Baltimore) and the Capitals. His first act as owner was to hire Hall of Famer Milt Schmidt as general manager."@en . . . "446"^^ . "181"^^ . "Yvon Labre"@en . "7"^^ . "Ron Low"@en .
