Welcome to the Northern Virginia Hockey Club

The Northern Virginia Ice Dogs provide a quality hockey program for boys and girls ages 4-18. We skate at the Mt Vernon Recreation Center, Fort Dupont Ice Arena, and Tucker Rd Ice Rink. We provide Initiation (Learn-to-Play) sessions, and House/Travel teams. Our House Teams play in the Capital Area Rec League, and our Travel Teams play in the Capital Beltway Hockey League. Our hockey club is committed to providing an opportunity to learn and play the game of ice hockey in an environment of equal participation and competitiveness while promoting good sportsmanship and team play.

Mite Cross-Ice and Initiation Programs to begin soon.

The Mite Cross-Ice Program (“MXI”) is designed to develop fundamental skating and hockey skills for children ages 4 thru 8 (birth years 2000 to 2004). MXI is intended and structured to be the “next-step” for Mite age players interested in moving toward competitive hockey. However, MXI is still designed to focus on fun and skating fundamentals. For more information visit the Cross-ice Program page.

The Initiation Program (“IP”) is designed to provide beginners, ages 4 to 10, with the opportunity to learn and practice the fundamentals of individual and team Hockey in a fun environment. The program is structured for beginners with some skating ability as a learn-to-play hockey program. This is a great introductory program for youth who would like to try hockey. For more information visit the Initiation Program page.

Volunteers Needed

Mt. Vernon RECenter is offering a new class in the fall. This class is geared towards students with disabilities. In order to run this class sucessfully, we will need a group of volunteers who are able to support themselves on ice skates and have had some experience working with students with special needs. The class will be run with an instructor for skills, and the volunteers will be there to give more support for each student (Each class runs for 6 sessions). If you would like to volunteer or have any questions please contact Emilie Danco, Ice Director for the Mt. Vernon RECenter at 703-768-3224.
