升级后的竞技场将更大, more functional and accessible multi-use locker rooms for both men’s and women’s hockey, 一个扩大的力量和调节空间, 还有教练和行政人员的新办公室. 的 upgrade will also benefit other UNH teams using the facility including UNH Field Hockey and paralympic athletes that compete in sled hockey on UNH’s Northeast Passage team.

“作为UNH曲棍球队的长期支持者, this is an exciting opportunity to help UNH Athletics and the university meet their goal to create a more competitive state-of-the-art complex that will attract and retain talented student-athletes, 吸引更多的粉丝，让整个社区受益,迪洛伦佐说, 关键汽车集团的所有者. “I hope I inspire other corporate and individual donors to become a part of this project.”
