Cappy Origin Story with Audra & Scott Richards
01/22/20 • 16 min
The Minnesota Whitecaps have been a family affair since inception. Jack Brodt created the women's ice hockey team to keep his daughter Winny Brodt on the ice as a post-graduate with USA Hockey dreams. Jack White designed the original Whitecaps logo, one his daughter Brooke would wear for years alongside Winny.
Sixteen years later, Scott Richards is the latest dad to add to the history of the Whitecaps. With Jack White's blessing, Scott Richards created Cappy, a puck head in a helmet and dressed in the new NWHL-version of the Minnesota uniform. His daughter Audra played her first NWHL season out east with the Riveters. Now she plays for her hometown team and helps fill in as Cappy from time to time.
Listen to Scott & Audra Richards discuss Cappy! We discuss, pronouns, social media, being part of the Whitecaps legacy, and more!

Last weekend, Jordan Juron rejoined the NWHL on a PTO. The former Beauts forward joined the #ForTheGame movement in the spring and played in their New Hampshire showcase, making her the first player to come to the NWHL from the PWHPA. What does this mean for women’s pro hockey? Erica offers analysis from her interview with Jordan and PWHPA goalie Katie Fitzgerald.
