School & Scout Skating Events

MedStar Capitals Iceplex, the home of the Washington Capitals, would like to welcome your school to the rink! Ice skating is a great way to entertain students for class parties, club outings, field trips, and even fundraisers! We invite you to take advantage of our school-year skating opportunities.

Email Events@MedStarCapitalsIceplex.com for more information and to inquire about available dates and times.

 

Private Ice Rentals
Rent the ice for your private use! Invite up to 300 students, faculty, staff and parents for a fun evening on the ice! We provide you with the tickets for your staff to sell at the door. You decide the cost per ticket for your students. Most schools set their own ticket price for admission. Each ticket includes admission, skate rental, and exclusive use of one NHL size rink during the time reserved for your event. We require that you hire at least two to three skate guards for the duration of your event at the cost of $25 each. Skate guards distribute skates and monitor skaters on the ice. Skating instruction is available at an additional fee. Payment must be made in advance of the event. Ice time is usually reserved several months in advance. For more information on how to rent the ice, please visit our Ice Rental tab.

 

School Spirit Night
All Arlington schools are invited to participate in our “School Spirit Night.” Spirit nights can be held during Public Skate sessions on Friday evenings. Students pay individually when they arrive for the skate night: $12 per person (which includes rental skates). Arrangements must be made in advance. Students are encouraged to wear their school colors, Letterman jackets, etc. Chaperones are recommended. If you would like to extend the invitation to staff, parents, and siblings, we would welcome them as well!

 

Small Group Skates/Facility Tours
Small groups (generally about 30 skaters or fewer) are invited to skate on any of our weekday Public Skate sessions. We are happy to offer a group rate of $12 per person (includes admission and skate rental). Additionally, a short facility tour may be available for some groups. This is a fun opportunity for science classes to discover what's beneath the ice! Email Events@MedStarCapitalsIceplex.com to book your small group skate/tour.
