Madison Capitols News Release


Madison, WI - The Madison Capitols unveiled their 2015-16 USHL regular season schedule on Thursday.

Madison will begin its Clark Cup pursuit on the road against the nearby Dubuque Fighting Saints on Saturday, Sept. 26. The Capitols kick off the home portion of their schedule against the Green Bay Gamblers on Friday, Oct. 9 at 7:05 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum inside the Alliant Energy Center.

After playing five of their first six games away from Madison, the Capitols close out the month of October with a four-game homestand with matchups against Chicago (twice), Bloomington, and Omaha from Oct. 23-30.

In total, the Capitols' first half of the season will feature a combined 12 games against their closest rivals, the Gamblers and the Fighting Saints, with six contests against each club prior to New Year's Day.

For the second straight year, the Capitols' home-ice schedule will have no conflicts with University of Wisconsin football or Green Bay Packers home games. Madison will welcome 15 of the 16 USHL clubs to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in 2015-16, including the Fargo Force (Dec. 5-6), the lone squad that did not visit a year ago. The Tri-City Storm is the only team the Capitols will not face on home ice during the regular season.
