The Future Caps Learn to Play program provides an opportunity for kids 5-9 years of age to receive a free complete set of hockey gear while participating in an eight-week  instructional program on learning to play hockey. 

The Haymarket Iceplex will host one session of Future Caps Lean to Play in the spring of 2021.  The session will begin on April 17th and run for eight weeks (not counting Memorial Day weekend).   Ice time is at 10:30-11:30 on Saturday mornings.  Attendance is limited and later registrations may be waitlisted.   Early registration ( prior to April 1) is encouraged so that the free hockey gear process is completed and equipment arrives prior to the first session.

Full program information, including free hockey gear ordering, complete registration instructions and payment is available ONLY at

www.learntoplayhockey.nhl.com/capitals

This site is scheduled to be operational beginning in the afternoon of March 8, 2021.  It is operated by the NHL, not the Haymarket Iceplex.

The Iceplex will provide at no additional cost initial skate sharpening and hockey stick sizing/taping.

Ice skating experience is required.  Completion of LTS/Hockey 3-4 is highly recommended.  Skaters who have not completed a LTS/Hockey 3-4 session may be required to undergo a skill evaluation.

The Haymarket Iceplex point-of-contact is Coach Leo Mullin. Questions may be directed to him at CoachLeo43@gmail.com.

2021 Sessions 3 and 4 of LTPH 1 are now open for registration.

Session 3 will run from June 7 through July 14.  Session 4 will run from July 19 through August 25.

Each session is on the ice two days per week (Monday and Wednesday) for 6 weeks.
