Returning to hockey after a year off? Skaters that did not participate in the 2020-21 season due to concerns over Covid-19 should not feel that the game of hockey has passed them by...far from it! Hockey is a life-long pursuit and taking a season or two off isn’t a make or break deal. Polar Caps are here to welcome you back and there will always be a place for you.
Hockey Equipment Rental
Equipment Returns:
If you still need to turn in rental equipment, please contact us to arrange a time at equipment@westmadisonpolarcaps.com
Please place all equipment being returned in the bag received from the Polar Caps or in a large heavy duty garbage bag. All returns will be done in the parking lot at Madison Ice Arena so that you do not have to enter the rink.

We are making hockey equipment available for rental for the 2020-2021 season from the Polar Caps. Equipment typically includes shoulder pads, shin pads, elbow pads, breezers (hockey pants), gloves, and helmet (we recommend getting your own helmet, especially this season). Note that sticks and skates are not provided with rental equipment.
Rental fee is $50 and equipment deposit is $50.

Polar Caps - Changing the Game Video
Before the start of the 2016 season, the West Madison Polar Caps Hockey club was faced with a problem: too many skaters and not enough ice. After exploring many different options and in partnership with Madison Ice, we elected to build a new rink in the parking lot. What started as a novel solution blossomed into a major community building process -- connecting coaches, parents, neighbors and players, changing how we looked at hockey and producing some surprising results.
