Pretty interesting on UNH hockey facilities.

TOWSE RINK AT THE WHITTEMORE CENTER

Used by the UNH men's and women's ice hockey teams, the Whittemore Center opened November 10, 1995 with the men's team defeating the then national champion Boston University, 6-5, in overtime. The arena brings the University's athletic facilities to a state-of-the-art level and positions UNH as a leader among the regions colleges and universities.

The 6,501 seat hockey arena known as Towse Rink was designed for easy conversion to a 7,500 seat facility for revenue-producing concerts, exhibitions and other events. The hockey rink became the sixth in the nation to feature and Olympic-sized ice surface (200 feet by 100 feet) - instead of standard 200' by 85'.
