Martire Family Arena
The Martire Family Arena is Sacred Heart's premier hockey and skating arena located on the University’s West Campus in Fairfield.
Opened in January 2023, the Martire Family Arena is the crown jewel of Sacred Heart’s robust, multi-year building and expansion program reflecting the institution’s significant growth and national status. The facility houses both the men's and women's NCAA Division I hockey programs, the University’s nationally ranked figure skating team, and men’s and women's club ice hockey teams. The new arena also serves as a classroom for SHU students studying in the areas of sports communication & media, sport management and others.
The sophisticated venue serves not only SHU athletic teams, but also the University community and residents in the region at large. The construction of the arena reflects our commitment to providing our student-athletes the best experience we possibly can as well as a dedication to all student-athletes, especially men’s and women’s hockey, past and present.
The location of the Martire Family Arena on Sacred Heart’s West campus provides our SHU teams the opportunity to play against national opponents on our campus and allows for those schools and their local (Tri-State/New England) alumni chapters to come to campus for games.
