The Madison Capitols are a AAA youth hockey organization based in Madison, WI.  Visit the official Madison Capitols website at www.madisoncapitols.com
The Madison Capitols are members of the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association (WAHA) and the Central District of USA Hockey.  The 2003-04 Capitols 19U, 16U & 14U girls teams will compete in the Midwest Elite AAA Hockey League, and participate in regional and national AAA tournaments.  The Midwest Elite AAA Hockey League includes tier 1 teams from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Colorado and Washington, D.C.  The 2003-04 12U team will play an independent schedule against local and regional girls and boys teams.  Previous to the 2002-03 season, the Capitols AAA girls teams were known as the Wisconsin Challengers.  The Capitols sent 2 teams to the 2003 USA Hockey National championships in Philadelphia, the 19U & 12U teams.  The Challengers sent the 15U team to the national tournament in Anchorage, in 2002.  Both the 2002 15U team & the 2003 12U team won Silver Medals signifying their participation in the National Championship game.  All 3 of these teams were also State Champions.

   Our Philosophy

Our philosophy as an organization, as well as that of coach Bob Suter, has always been to develop individual skills of each player through fundamentals at every practice.  The more a player develops their individual skills, the more they are able to contribute positively to the success of the team.  We stand firm in our belief that mastering fundamentals of the game is essential to player development and attainment of success at the next level.
