 The Washington Capitals have many initiatives that support the local amateur hockey community. These programs are designed to give local players an opportunity to be involved in the Capitals game-day experience. Local teams purchase tickets through the Puck-to-Bucks program, which returns a percentage of the ticket sales back to the team in the form of a donation. The game-day initiatives are Mites on Ice, Flag Kids, Ice Crew and program sales. Registration for all game-day programs is done online using the form below. To the right you will find a brief description of each program as well as the age requirements and participation numbers. Thank you for your interest in the Capitals Game Day Youth Hockey Programs. For more information or to register your team please call Tim Bronaugh at 202-266-2341 or email him at tbronaugh@washcaps.com |

Mites on Ice |
 Flag Kids Welcome the players to the ice by forming a fan flag tunnel next to the bench at the beginning of the game. Participants will pump up the crowd when the lights go down by skating a lap with Slapshot before forming the tunnel. Participants are also on ice during the player introductions and the singing of the national anthem. This program is limited to players in the squirt and pee-wee age groups. A total of six skaters are required.

 Ice Crew Help the Verizon Center ice crew maintain the playing during TV timeouts. Participants will skate onto the ice and remove excess “snow” from the bench and goal areas as well as get to watch the game from the front row of the Olympia corner. This program is limited to players in the bantam, midget, and high school age groups. Groups of two or four players are required.
