The SPCHA has been selected as a pilot Skate It Forward association

Exciting news for our St. Paul Capitals community! The SPCHA has been chosen as one of the 11 inaugural Skate It Forward pilot associations for the 2025-26 season.

This ambitious initiative from the Minnesota Wild Foundation is inspired by "Pay It Forward" and aims to preserve and strengthen Minnesota's community hockey model. We're proud to be at the forefront! Our application, focused on keeping youth hockey strong in St. Paul and expanding access to hockey in our new neighborhoods of West Side and West End, perfectly aligns with Skate It Forward's mission to get more Minnesota kids on the ice.

A key highlight: together with the SPCHA, Skate It Forward provides a grant for every first-time player born June 1, 2016 or after, making hockey free for these new Mini-Mite, Mite, and 8U participants! This is a tremendous boost for growing the game in our community. Please share this news to help us grow the game!

And as an inaugural Skate It Forward association, we also have the opportunity to do our part and contribute directly to this important program. Please consider donating to Skate It Forward, helping ensure this incredible initiative can continue to benefit youth across Minnesota.

Our 2025-26 Home Tournaments

We kick things off with the Capital Cup, an iconic early-season 12U A, 12U B2, and 10U B2 tournament complete with a Stanley Cup-like presentation of the Capital Cup to the winning team. It's the perfect way to get the competitive juices flowing!

Later in the season, we host the Cormick Cup for Squirt A, B1, B2, and C teams, a meaningful tournament played in memory of a Capitals player who left us too soon, Cormick Scanlan. It's a powerful reminder of the lasting impact our players have and the strong hockey community we share.

And to wrap up the season, our future stars shine in the Capital City Mite Classic. This highly anticipated jamboree is a fantastic and fun way for all participating Mite 3 and 4 players to celebrate their progress and passion for the game.

Work Hard and Get Better with these Summer Development Opportunities

Summer is the perfect time for young hockey players to take their game to the next level.

As Paul Coffey once said, "Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top." Our SPCHA summer hockey camps, along with those offered by our community and in-season development partners, provide the ideal environment for kids to hone their skills, build confidence, and make lifelong memories.

From refining skating and stickhandling to learning new strategies and teamwork, these camps are designed to be both fun and challenging.
