UNC ICE HOCKEY ARENA PROJECT

Learn More

We look forward to eventually having the arena be the new “Home of the North Carolina Tar Heels Ice Hockey Team.”

The North Carolina Tar Heels Ice Hockey Booster Club is leading the arena project fundraising and construction effort. The Booster Club, is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation organized exclusively for charitable purposes with the sole mission of securing funding for the University of North Carolina Ice Hockey Team.

UNC – Chapel Hill Sports Programs will be preferred customers of the new facility and may benefit from favorable pricing and ice times. The ice hockey team will have a private locker room.

The University of North Carolina is not affiliated with the Booster Club or the arena but is providing administrative assistance to the Booster Club in our fundraising efforts.
