Big Ten Hockey Arenas

We showcase the ice hockey arenas of the Big Ten Conference, one of the many NCAA Division I ice hockey conferences. Thanks for watching!

[@op4kub810]

You should do the NCHC, which is known to be the best conference in college hockey! Some pretty cool venues in that conference!

[@ge009]

Wisconsin’s women’s team, one of the best programs of all time, plays at the much smaller (but not any less charming) LaBahn Arena just down the street from Kohl Center

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Technically the building is attached.

[@tylerkochman1007]

Not down the street. Next door/semi-attatched

[@godofdestruction4636]

Nobody watches women sports it's boring 😂

[@tylerkochman1007]

@@godofdestruction4636 women’s volleyball is well attended at Wisconsin

[@jbsmg]

Who fucking cares?

[@raytaylor6412]

The arenas at Ohio State and Wisconsin are also home the the respective school's men's basketball teams as well.

[@formosa4503]

As someone who has been multiple times and even played on the ice in the junior league. The compton family ice arena is amazing and so is its atmosphere (ps: if u go here get the pretzel)

[@plots4]

You’ll love the ECAC… 12 teams in northeast states, including the 6 Ivy League hockey schools. Yale’s rink might be the most unique in the country, and Princeton’s is over 100 years old and named after Hobey Baker (same guy as the hockey equivalent of the Heisman Trophy). It’s my favorite arena I’ve ever played at.

[@firstnamelastname-zi4mq]

For what it's worth, all Minnesotans call the "3M Arena at Mariucci", "Mariucci". 3M bought the naming rights to Mariucci back in 2017. Too many legends came out of that barn, so we will always call it Mariucci, no matter how much 3M payed.

[@maxpowr90]

HockeyEast is great too. A lot of historic arenas there.

[@bizmen81]

Thank you so much for reviewing college hockey arenas! You should do the ECAC next as half the teams are in the Ivy League and Yale's rink is one of a kind! Also don't forget Arizona State! Yes, they do actually play D1 hockey! But since they are so far away from any other team in the US, they are independent.

[@zxr92]

How ASU got a D1 team when Arizona and others have been playing club hockey forever is a mystery. :)

[@tylerkochman1007]

“Madhouse in Madison” is obviously a pun on Chicago’s famous “Madhouse ON Madison”

[@neilwhitaker6284]

The University of Michigan Yost ice Arena is one of the best sports venues I have ever seen! I grew up near Michigan and had no idea it even existed until this video!

[@jeremyfallis4692]

Fun to see Big Ten hockey featured on your channel. The Pegula donation was originally $88M, but ended up being over $100M by the time the program and arena were finished. The arena alone cost $90M and was modeled after Notre Dame in many areas (no surprise they have similarities).

[@markbrown4039]

Yost Arena rocks! It's a great ice hockey venue. Michigan hockey fans are notoriously enthusiastic, and the atmosphere can be very intimidating for opponents

[@SPR637]

Its funny you say that I'm the third cousin of who its named after 😃

[@barbarian92]

If you’re doing college hockey arenas, you’d love the CCHA!

[@ianbeauTMR]

Have to get Hockey East Arenas on the list! There are some great ones in the league!!

[@joeanthony8755]

You should do the rest of the college hockey rinks and conference's

[@alicebenson8512]

Minnesota's and Michigan's barns are pretty dope.

[@kcpohio]

The Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey team still plays at The Ohio State University Ice Rink, while men's team still practices there and seats 1,000 people.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

This is fantastic, thanks. I know Munn went through a renovation recently, although I'm guessing that had as much to do with the player facilities (for recruiting) as it did with sprucing up the fan experience. I was a student at Wisconsin from 03 through 07, and had season tickets in the student section. It's a big venue, but back then they could fill it for hockey, and the atmosphere was absolutely phenomenal. The team's fallen on hard times lately, though, and only average about half capacity (and even then, I think that's tickets sold vs. fans in stands). The one downside is that the Kohl Center is dual purpose (it also hosts the basketball team), and the upper tiers are designed with basketball in mind. When Herb Kohl made his donation, he wanted a basketball-centric arena. At the time he was the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks who (at the time) played at the Bradley Center, which was designed with sightlines optimized for hockey, and he was seemingly quite bothered by that. As a result, unless you're in the first 2-4 rows of the third tier at the Kohl Center for a hockey game, you might not be able to see the near side boards from your seats.

[@tylerkochman1007]

2:52 since you included a photo of a Blackhawks pre-season camp (though I’m not sure you recognized that to be the case) you also could have noted that Notre Dame’s arena has been used by the NHL Blackhawks as a pre-season training camp venue

[@aidanross2179]

HockeyEast is arguably the best competition in playing and the rinks can’t wait to see you do that one

[@mh89fitness89]

It’s cool to see the Norte dame arena in this video because I’ve played on that ice before and seen a game there and it was both cool

[@upbeatproductions7614]

Munn Ice Arena is really nice, it’s very modern and good seating.

[@greatjoe1859]

So glad to see you doing college hockey. hopefully you do all the conferences. I go to school at UMD in the NCHC and would be cool to see them in the video (considering we are right on Lake Superior).

[@kja9881]

Let's Go Dog's!

[@mihmist2655]

I wish the University of Iowa Men's Hockey went D1. They just built a new arena in town for an Echl team. Hopefully, they someday get a donation like the Pegula's for Penn State. Also, please do the ECHL next it would be amazing.

[@slimphotog]

Wow, the arched windows really make the Yost Arena. And I agree, there is just the right amount of Irishness at ND's arena.

[@alexcostin7681]

Recommend doing a Canadian Hockey League series eventually (WHL, OHL, QMJHL). Some really interesting little arenas across the country. Even Junior A leagues in Canada such as the BCHL have some really cool barns with lots of character!

[@dustymathews6010]

The next video you should do the CHL with the 3 leagues WHL OHL QMJHL. Love the vids brother 🤙🏼

[@kardovalencia3908]

My guy, you are 🔥 fire. Keep up the good work.

[@YourToaster90]

you should totally do the American conference basketball stadiums!

[@TheCyborgXD]

Can't wait for Arizona State, since they play in a "professional" arena. I look forward to jokes about the Coyotes

[@thethirstycactus8794]

If you plan on doing more hockey arenas, then you should do the ECHL arenas. There’s 28 teams, so plenty of arenas to cover.

[@flatspin7]

Hit up the NCHC… I spend many evening watching games in the Ralph Engelstad Arena

[@Forestgravy90]

Hey love your channel, would love to see some European basketball and Ice Hockey leagues being covered as I don't really know much about them and there are a lot of leagues and countries to go through

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

Will do.

[@SanTM]

Love your videos mate

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

Cheers!

[@sokonek1]

Back when the Wisconsin Men were wining national championships, the Kohl Center was insane for Hockey. Need to get back to that.

[@Midfielder12]

Please do ECHL Arenas next please!

[@ReallyBadDriving]

I think all of these are bigger and better than where the Coyotes play.

[@danielflynn8530]

I need to give you a heads up there are two brand new arenas in College hockey that just opened up in this past month. Hockey East (UConn)and (Sacred Heart) Mattire Family Arena in the Atlantic Conference.

[@danielflynn8530]

I will be attending the Mattire Arena this upcoming month and I can provide you photos if you need them.

[@duhbullb]

Hockey East next!!

[@nolancarpenter4037]

One recommendation for a video(s) could be to do European hockey leagues. Would love to see a video about the DEL (german league) arenas.

[@ImppuSniper]

Can you do Finnish ice hockey league called "liiga" arenas. It's the highest finnish hockey league.

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

I'm sure I will get that video made eventually. I was just in Finland a couple of weeks ago actually. It's a nice place, except for Salmiakki.

Minnesota is known as the state of hockey for a reason look at the teams roster it’s almost all Minnesotans and it’s been that way forever

[@trabisspott2738]

Thanks for listening to my suggestion Could you do the ccha next

[@Lekcots11]

Notre Dame's is the nicest of every arena in the Big 10, no doubt. Munn has to be 2nd. The reason it doesn't look immaculate on the outside because most of the arena is below ground. Remember, Munn is in between the football stadium and basketball arena all within a block of each other. Yost isn't even within 3 blocks of either their basketball arena and football stadium so they have more land to use. Munn however did get a massive exterior upgrade and it looks amazing.

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

Notre Dame has my favorite college hockey arena

[@kylemcclelland1517]

you should do the Australian Ice Hockey League next

You missed Mullet Arena of the ASU Sun Devils.

[@barbarian92]

ASU isn't in any conference at the moment. They did play a Big Ten away schedule last season, which is what you might be thinking of.

[@admirals818]

When did they join the Big 10?

[@bizmen81]

They were only part of the B1G for the 20-21 season so they could be in their COVID bubble. Otherwise they are independent.

I hate Value City so much. It only was built as a failed attempt to keep the Blue Jackets away, and we have to deal with that poor decision making to this day. Its too big and souless for college basketball, so its awful for hockey edit: the high celling doesnt just hurt the atmosphere a little bit, it downright destroys it

Hockey East

[@CauldronOfWeird]

So the Buckeyes arena was built hastily after the announcement of the NHL's Blue Jackets joining the league. It was an effort of OSU trying to get the team to rent their arena and take a slice of the pie. Much to their shock the Jackets built their own arena and the relationship between the University and the CBJ has been... contentious ever sense. Value City Arena is a terrible hockey venue, it's too big for the team and the University is lookinginto a hockey specific building for the men and women's teams. Go Bucks!
