Prince William County could soon be home to a new inline hockey rink at the Hylton Boys and Girls Club in Dale City, following an in-depth discussion by the Board of County Supervisors during their December 17, 2024, meeting. The facility results from a partnership between the Boys and Girls Club, Prince William Ice Center, the Washington Capitals, and George Mason University.
Seth Hendler-Voss, the county’s Director of Parks and Recreation, introduced the project, describing it as “an exciting partnership opportunity to bring a new recreation amenity to Prince William County.” He outlined the proposed location and the collaboration required to make the rink a reality.

There was a time in the 1970s when kids would get a plastic hockey blade, screw it on a broomstick, and run around the street, hitting the ball into the homemade goal.
Sometimes, the goalie wore a football helmet and old pillows strapped to the legs and called the game "street hockey." Fast forward about 50 years, and there's still a game like this called "ball hockey," and it's coming to Dale City.
