Killington’s Johnson Recreation Center Ice Rink kicks off hockey season

Courtesy Killington Recreation Board Members of the Killington Double Diamonds hockey program attended a recent practice at the Johnson Recreation Center.

The Johnson Recreation Ice Rink started the season early with some cold December weather. It has been operating since the first week of December.

The rink continues with its Winter programming on Monday nights, when the Recreation Dept. holds its Double Diamonds hockey practice from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

“This year, the ice is as good as I have ever seen. A lot of thanks goes to the Recreation ice team led by Griffin Van Niel. I hope people get out there and enjoy it,” said Killington Recreation board member Arra Dederian.

Public skating is open every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., weather permitting. Helmets are required, and some skates can be borrowed.
