DC-ICE started on ice at Fort Dupont Ice Arena and on inline skates at the Anacostia Skating Pavilion, both in Washington, DC's Ward 7. DC-ICE speed skaters have raced at local, regional and national short-track speed skating and inline competitions. Recreational & Fitness skaters continue to practice regularly at local outdoor ice rinks and on local trails throughout the city.
Coached by Nathaniel Mills (Coach Nat), a three-time Olympic speed skater, and DC native Suliman Abdullah, the DC-ICE Skating Club is rooted in the universal principles of Olympism: Joy in Effort, Perseverance, Fair Play, Respect, and Unity.
Honorary DC-ICE Members have included: Shani Davis, the pioneering Olympic Champion who inspired the club's creation; local two-time Olympian Maame Biney, who got her competitive start at the Club's DC Open Meet; and 2026 Olympian and DC native Conor McDermott-Mostowy. Several young former DC-ICE skaters - Robert Tolliver, Makayla Chou, Anastasia Chan, Jabari Watts - now train with the renowned Potomac Speedskating Club and have their sights set on 2034 and beyond.
