The Washington Capitals are launching a Try Hockey for Free program.

This program offers ball hockey clinics to kids ages 5-17 in order to provide free access to the game for kids and families across the Washington DC area who have never participated in the sport before. Each participant will learn the basics of hockey (stickhandling, passing, and shooting) and will receive a hockey stick and ball to take home following the event to encourage continued development.

Clinics will be held at various Washington Capitals outdoor ball hockey rinks in Virginia and Maryland. This program is designed to be an introduction to the game for the participants and the first opportunity to reach the families in our community who are looking for more affordable options to play.
