Where one sees retired skater run for captain? (7)

I believe the answer is:

officer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for captain?' is the definition.
(captain is a kind of officer)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for officer that I've seen before include "9 across" , "Holder of a commission in the armed forces" , "Maybe society treasurer" , "One with commission" , "Police(wo)man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
