Since its inception, the program has trained out of the Fort Dupont Ice Arena in the largely African American Southeast quadrant of Washington D.C. The Fort Dupont program has been the model for other inner-city based hockey programs across the country. The program's mission is to provide total training for all participants and to provide educational purpose, discipline, and self-esteem.
