Candy Cane Cup 2023

5:00pm - 9:00pm Wednesday, December 13, 2023

 

The Candy Cane Cup is an evening event for the whole Polar Caps community to enjoy! Mainly, it consists of cross-ice games for four different age divisions. Players that register will be 'drafted' onto a team in their age bracket. Teams (and lines within games) will be balanced and like-skilled, so any Polar Caps player can participate. We will also have tons of treats, drinks and other fun activities for kids! 

Money raised through Candy Cane Cup registrations, concession sales and raffle ticket sales benefit the Polar Caps SkateAssist Scholarship Fund and go to offset costs for supplemental training (e.g. power skating clinics) and equipment expenditures (e.g. new scoreboard and cross-ice barriers.)

Girls Summer Hockey Clinic

We are excited to bring back our weekly girls' summer hockey clinic. Our goal is to improve skill, strengthen relationships, and build confidence. This program is designed primarily for girls from 6-9 years old, but can accommodate additional skaters around that age range. It includes skaters that are in Cross Ice, Red White and Blue, House (Rink Rats) and girls that have completed the Learn-to-Play program and know how to skate. If you have any questions about your player participating in the program, please contact Drew Justman at andrewjustman@hotmail.com. We are also looking for volunteer parents that want to help coach on the ice.

SCHEDULE:

Ice sessions will be once per week on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer starting June 22 and ending on August 31 at Madison Ice Arena. Sessions will be held from 6:30-7:30pm.

Please note that all dates and times will be posted on the Polar Caps website calendar.

COST:

The cost of the program is $80.

Please use the below link to register.

The Registration "Home" is not currently available.

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 2023-2024 season from the Polar Caps. Equipment typically includes shoulder pads, shin pads, elbow pads, breezers (hockey pants), gloves, and helmet. Note that sticks and skates are not provided with rental equipment.

If you need to rent or exchange equipment, please email us at:  equipment@westmadisonpolarcaps.com


Vaccine Clinic at Madison Ice Arena - Wednesday, October 26, 2022

As a benefit to our Polar Caps and West Side Hockey Community we have worked with the Mobile Vaccine Clinic to bring the mobile vaccine clinic to MIA on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2022 from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.  This is a clinic that is supported by and accepted by all local health plans that provides vaccines to anyone over age 5.  The vaccine clinic will provide vaccines to ANYONE OVER AGE 5, not just registered Polar Caps players.  This is an excellent opportunity for you to get your family vaccinated at a time and location that is hopefully more convenient for our families.  The following vaccines will be offered:

  • Pfizer COVID vaccine 5-11 years old

  • Pfizer COVID 12+ first or second shots

  • Pfizer COVID Bivalent booster for 12+ years

  • HPV

  • Flu

  • Meningococcal

  • Tdap (tetanus)

 

Register for Vaccine Clinic Ages 5-11

Register for Vaccine Clinic Ages 12 and Older

Pre-registration is now closed.

You may register on Wednesday if you want a vaccine, and we will give as many vaccines as we have on hand and try to be as timely as we can based on the number of vaccinators that we have available.

To expedite the process on the day of the clinic, please fill out the appropriate consent forms below.
