ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Washington Capitals Rink Pass program is an extension of the Hockey School platform, where students are first introduced to the sport in their Physical Education classes. The Rink Pass program provides students the opportunity to further engage with the sport outside of school through field trips to their local ice rinks for skating classes and local ball hockey rinks for continued hockey instruction. Through these field trips, students will further their knowledge of the sport and continue their hockey instruction both on and off the ice.

Visits to each rink are scheduled in coordination with participating school systems and are offered to select grade levels. The Capitals will provide transportation and all necessary equipment. Participating schools are selected by county administrators.

The program emphasizes inclusivity and aims to give every child, regardless of experience or ability, the opportunity for further engagement with the sport of hockey in a fun and safe environment.
