Along with Bettman and Albert, professional women’s hockey player Chelsea Goldberg joined the players during the visit.
Sunday’s game drew upwards of 8,000 fans, many of whom were wearing Tel Aviv and Capitals jerseys, to watch the memorable matchup.
“I think it was a moment everyone remembers the rest of their lives,” said Jerusalem assistant coach David Warsofsky after the game. ” A lot of these guys haven’t been able to play in an arena like this. It’s a historic moment for Israeli hockey.”
Warsofsky is a former NHL defenseman who played from 2013-18 and is the younger brother of San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky.
