💬 What Visitors Say
- Register online in advance through DASH to guarantee your spot and avoid lines at this popular facility that hosts Capitals practices.
- If you're an adult learner, try to book sessions during off-peak times rather than weekday Learn to Skate classes, as the skate director schedules most weekday classes making adult attendance difficult. Inquire about weekend session availability.
- Bring layers and warm socks—the facility is spacious with two full rinks and can get cold, especially during less crowded sessions when the facility may not feel as warm.
- Expect an energetic, youth-oriented atmosphere during hockey season and summer camps. The venue can have many unsupervised children, so arrive during quieter public skate sessions if you prefer a calmer experience.
- Take advantage of the Learn to Skate program followed by the 'Learn to Play' hockey program—reviewers consistently praise these progression programs for building skills and confidence in young skaters ages 5+.
