What can you say, Notre Dame does everything right! This is the hockey altar for hockey fans! My son played on the ice at a recent Showcase event and was absolutely breathtaking to behold. We stayed the weekend in South Bend and even caught a Notre Dame Men's hockey game. Try to get a tour of the Locker Room if you can, but don't even think of touching the Logo in the centre of the room, strictly forbidden and for good reason!!

This place feels like a smaller version of an NHL arena, the atmosphere is amazing as well as the amenities.

I've been following Notre Dame sports since early childhood, including hockey. For decades the hockey team played in a glorified HS Hockey level facility in the North Dome of the Joyce ACC. It was substandard and frankly, an embarrassment. That all changed with the opening of the Compton Family Ice Arena. This facility is NHL quality though on a smaller scale. Lower seating capacity is the biggest difference. The Compton Arena has excellent concessions, restrooms and a souvenir shop. It also has a 2nd rink available for practices, rentals, curling lessons, etc.

This place is great. I have not seen a game but did see some pick up hockey. What a great arena. I'm not sure how many people it seats but they are all on top of the ice and it's well designed. It's hard to imagine there is a nicer college hockey rink anywhere. Even if you can't see a game, I recommend stopping by to see if it's open.

We are always pleased to get ND ice for tournaments. Some of the best ice and facilities our boys have ever skated. Very clean place. Easy to get in and out also.
