The USHL is the premier development league for the world’s top junior‐age hockey players to prepare for NCAA Division 1 hockey and the NHL. In the 2014 NHL Draft, a total of 51 USHL players were selected. The league currently consists of 17 teams in nine different states across the Midwest, the newest being right here in Madison, WI. The Madison Capitols play 30 home games per season in front of thousands of fans at Bob Suter's Capitol Ice Arena in Middleton. The organization ranked in the top five of attendance for the inaugural 2014-2015 season. The Capitols ownership group is led by former University of Wisconsin and current NHL star defenseman, Ryan Suter. He has also represented team USA in two Winter Olympics and was a member of the 2012 NHL All-Star Team. With a team of leaders who know the game and business of hockey, and a city whose hockey scene is rapidly growing with an appetite for success, the Madison Capitols are primed and committed to thrive.
