The Washington Little Capitals was born as a Tier 1 only club in 1983. We are proud to continue that tradition and provide elite players the opportunity to practice at the ION International Training Center and play in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League (AYHL) and Tier 1 Elite Hockey League (T1EHL). Our professional approach is to create a well organized, energetic, fast-paced, intense, and competitive practice session each and every day. We want our players to be able to participate in challenging progressive drills that push them to move out of their comfort zone while simultaneously moving their feet and handling a puck, forcing them to also work on their vision skills. Our on-ice practices are dedicated to individual and team development. It is our belief that the better we can develop each individual player, the more success our teams will have.
