The Madison Capitols are one of the most extraordinary and illustrious hockey programs in the country. The Capitols pioneered the first AAA program in the State of Wisconsin and have become the model for many other programs, nationwide, that are currently in existence today. The Capitols were established in 1977 by hockey visionaries Marlowe Suter, Paul Ryan, and Steve Badalich. They set out to cultivate a group of young hockey players by exposing them to better coaching, superior training, and the most competitive venues to showcase their talents. This was the birth of the Madison Capitols and has been the driving force, the cornerstone, and the mission of the program since the late 70's.

Few programs nationwide rival the Madison Capitols commitment to skill development, competitive exposure, and coaching expertise. As the pioneer AAA hockey program in the State of Wisconsin, the Madison Capitols have enjoyed one of the longest, richest, and most recognizable hockey traditions in American AAA hockey.

This program developed top professionals, such as Phil Kessel, Craig Smith, Brianna Decker, Amanda Kessel, Jessie Vetter, Will Butcher, Ryan Suter, and many more.

The Hall of Fame honors & recognizes those who have contributed both on and off the ice to support and continue the rich tradition of the MADISON CAPITOLS AAA Hockey Organization as well as youth hockey in general in the state of Wisconsin. 

The 1978 Madison Capitols Bantam team was inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 15th, 2017. They were coached by Marlowe Suter and Jim Mackey, and they completed the first successful season by playing in the 1978 National Bantam Tournament here in Madison, Wisconsin.
