Madison Capitols News Release


MIDDLETON, Wisc. - The Capitols welcome in the Youngstown Phantoms this weekend for a pair of games. The Capitols are in need of points after dropping their last six games. A sellout crowd on Friday as well as the bobblehead fanatics that will arrive to Cap Ice early on Saturday in hopes of taking home a Neal Broten Bobblehead.

Friday, it's a Dollar Beer Night presented by Coors Light. The game is the team's fourth sell out of the season, so the team is advising that fans arrive early to make it to their seat before the game starts.

The annual event for the Capitols comes just days before the 44th anniversary of 'Miracle on Ice.' To celebrate that Madison will be dawning their USA themed jerseys and giving away bobbleheads to the first 1,000 fans in attendance that night. As for the bobblehead, the Capitols have announced that the bobblehead will be Neal Broten. The Broten bobblehead marks the sixth season that Madison has handed out a souvenir of a player or coach from the gold medal winning team.

Bob Suter was a member of the team in 1980 that upset the Soviets in the semi-final that has went down as one of the biggest upsets in sporting history. As Bob always said, "It's all about the kids." Members of the Suter family will be in attendance at the game participating in a pregame ceremony.

The Bob Suter Memorial Foundation has followed along that tradition annually handing out equipment to keep hockey growing here in the Madison area. This season, the foundation was able to donate to twelve different associations. The foundation will be the primary benefactor of the night's jersey auction that will run throughout the weekend. The auction of the Capitols USA themed jerseys will close at 6 pm on Sunday night.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 pm on both Friday and Saturday night at Bob Suter's Capitol Ice Arena. Tickets for Saturday's game can be found at tickets.madcapshockey.com.
