DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court correctly concluded that the plaintiff Louis Brugnatelli, an experienced amateur ice hockey player, assumed the risks inherent in the sport, including those risks associated with any open and obvious conditions of the ice surface (see, Gillett v. County of Westchester, 274 A.D.2d 547 [2d Dept., July 31, 2000]; Geffen v. City of New York, 271 A.D.2d 487; Lo Piccolo v. Town of Oyster Bay, 260 A.D.2d 606; Fox v. Town of Oyster Bay, 251 A.D.2d 621; Giaimo v. Roller Derby Skate Corp., 234 A.D.2d 340). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly granted the respondents' motion and dismissed the complaint insofar as asserted against them.
