Throughout the duration of Capitals Winter at The Wharf, there will be three Capitals Igloos located outside of Cantina Bambina. The 12-foot-wide igloos featuring hockey net entrances are open to the public for a unique hockey-themed experience and drink specials. The individual igloos are Capitals-themed with the team’s core logo, Blue W and screaming eagle. The igloos each fit up to four guests and will be open for the public to enjoy when the Wharf Ice Rink is open. Guests can check out fun games at the Wharf Ice Rink Skate shop and drinks and snacks can be purchased at the Cantina Bambina concession window.

In addition, The Wharf Ice Rink on Transit Pier will feature the Capitals, with Capitals rink panels and a Capitals-themed ice resurfacer. There also will be Capitals and Rock the Rink branding throughout the surrounding area.
