Capitals 2023 Development Camp

Washington Capitals Development Camp is underway from MedStar Capitals Iceplex from July 1 through July 5. All on ice sessions are free and open to the public on July 1-3 and July 5. The rink will be closed to the public on the 4th of July.

On Sunday July 2 from 4 to 5 p.m. the Caps will host an on ice clinic for 60 local youth hockey players. It is also put together by  the Capitals Youth Hockey Development Department. There will be stations at the clinic which will be focused on youth players ages 6-12.
