The Compton Family Ice Arena is a 5,022-seat,[2] two-rink ice facility in Notre Dame, Indiana on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. The arena saw its first game on October 21, 2011. The ice arena replaced the 2,857-seat rink in the north dome of the Edmund P. Joyce Center.

The new ice arena is located south of the Joyce Center, just north of Edison Road, and just west of where the new Irish track and field facility is being constructed. The majority of the general public arena seating is of the chair-back variety. The facility includes two sheets of ice (one of them Olympic-sized), with limited seating availability for the second sheet.[1] Offices, locker room, and training facilities for the Notre Dame hockey program will be located within the facility. The weight room within the building will be available for use by all Fighting Irish varsity athletes. Eight auxiliary locker rooms will be available for campus and community use of the facility.[3]

History

On February 12, 2009, The University of Notre Dame announced it would begin construction the next year on a new, freestanding, on-campus ice arena designed to meet the needs of both the nationally ranked Irish men's hockey team and the local community. Construction began on March 15, 2010 on the 5,022-seat arena, which opened on schedule on October 18, 2011.[4][2]

The University originally had planned to renovate the current Joyce Center ice facility, but additional studies changed that plan to instead feature a new building. Now that the new facility is completed, the ice rink will be removed from the Joyce Center fieldhouse, making the north dome space available for a variety of other events.[5]

Charles W. "Lefty" Smith Jr. Rink

The main ice arena features a 200' x 100' ice rink, which will be divisable into 2, 100' x 100' cross-ice rinks. The facility is named the Charles W. "Lefty" Smith Jr. Rink, in honor of the first coach in the program's history.[5]
