Hockey Rinks in Virginia, Maryland, and DC (DMV)

Lawrence Cutlip-Mason

As a youth hockey coach, I’m constantly asked, “Where can my child play hockey?” or "Where can I play hockey?" Finding this information can be tricky, so I decided to create a comprehensive list of physical places to play hockey in the DMV (District, Maryland, Virginia) area, including the extended area. The list with links to each Hockey Rink's website should help you explore the options. Some websites have little to no information, those you have to dig deeper into the actual leagues/teams that may play there but are not part of the rink.
