Madison Capitols Tickets

Madison Capitols

Ryan Suter's ownership group brought the Madison Capitols back to the ice in 2014, restoring a Tier I junior program with roots stretching back to 1984 and a history of developing Division I and professional talent. Playing in the Eastern Conference of the United States Hockey League, the Capitols have built a reputation for disciplined team defense and a strong goaltending pipeline.

USHL Eastern

The Capitols compete in a crowded Eastern Conference that includes longtime rival Green Bay Gamblers, a series Madison has controlled in recent seasons and one that still draws the loudest nights of the schedule. Checking the current USHL standings shows a conference built around parity, where a mid-pack seed can still make a deep run, exactly what Madison did in 2026 by knocking out Youngstown before pushing eventual finalist Muskegon to five games in the conference final. Goaltender Caleb Heil anchored that run, and forward Sam Kappell remains one of the Eastern Conference's most reliable scorers.

Madison Capitols at Bob Suter's Legacy20 Arena

Bob Suter's Capitol Ice Arena (then renamed LEGACY20 Arena) served as the Capitols' home for years, but the team opens the 2026-27 season in a new building: LEGACY20 Arena at DeForest Yards, part of a new entertainment district on Madison's northeast side. The 3,000-seat facility brings stadium-style seating, a center-hung video board, a full sports bar, and a team store, plus an outdoor rink that runs alongside the main sheet in winter. Fans moving from the old Middleton rink will notice wider concourses and more premium options, all built around the Suter family's continued stewardship of the program.

Madison Capitols Schedule

This season's 62-game schedule includes several meetings against Green Bay, built in for both regular-season points and playoff seeding. The season opener at the new arena comes on October 17 against Chicago, giving fans their first look at the Capitols in DeForest Yards. Home dates against Muskegon carry extra weight, too, seeing how these two sides have met in three straight conference finals. Circle the early slate before the building settles into its winter rhythm.

New arena, same identity: the Capitols still play a physical, defense-first brand of hockey that carried the organization to consecutive Clark Cup playoff appearances, capped by a trip to the Eastern Conference finals in 2026 under head coach Andy Brandt. Watching that identity move into LEGACY20 Arena at DeForest Yards for the first time gives fans a reason to be there from night one, not just once the building has broken in.
