Kettler Capitals Iceplex, Arlington

Kettler Capitals Iceplex is the practice arena of the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League.

Opened in 2006, the 137,000-square-foot facility, which is owned by Arlington County and leased to the Capitals, houses two full-NHL-sized ice rinks with seating for 1,200, a training center, a proshop, and offices for staff of both the Capitals team and the WNBA's Washington Mystics team. The Iceplex also serves as the home ice for the club teams of Georgetown University and George Washington University. The Iceplex also runs an adult league for amateur hockey players. Originally named Ballston Ice Arena, it was renamed by Washington, D.C. area real estate developer Robert C. Kettler. The building was designed by William R. Drury of the Reston, Virginia based firm, Architecture, Incorporated, and completed in November 2006 at a cost of $42.8 million.
