Any hockey in the DC area during the NHL lockout?

Is there any hockey around -- minor league, exhibition games, decent college teams? I always get Caps tickets for my dad when he comes to visit for Christmas, and we go together and have such fun--it's become a tradition and one of the best ways I've found to bond with my dad. Now the stupid NHL isn't playing. Are there any local alternatives? I know about the teams in Reading and Norfolk; not sure it's feasible for us to travel that far. Thanks, hockey fans.

Just google local college teams. I know Georgetown has a team. There also are travel club teams like Team Maryland. High School hockey is around as well. Pretty much all the hockey is going to be at a local rink, so just look up that rink. Montgomery Ice Arena, Laurel Ice Gardens, Reston, For Dupont. Piney Orchard, Kettler. Rinks are everywhere and teams from mites to college are playing in the same rinks.
