The building has hosted three conference championships in it's brief history- the 2000 & 2001 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Men's Ice Hockey Championships and the 2002 ECAC Women's Ice Hockey Championship. It was constructed upon the same site of UConn's old outdoor rink that the program used before moving up to Division I. The rink itself is in the exact same spot as at the old rink. It opened in 1998, and up until 2005 was known as the UConn Ice Arena. It seats 2,000 and the rink is 200 feet by 85 feet.
