A new name, a new locker room, and new honors

SUNY Brockport’s ice rink is now known as the Wegmans Ice Arena, following a major gift made by Wegmans Food Markets. The ice arena will undergo branding transformations to reflect the name change. The gift is slated to support the men’s ice hockey program, the facility, and students.

A generous gift from Confer Plastics helped plans of a renovated locker room glide past the goal line. The updated club room will include new lockers, locker naming plates, and a new floor.

Golden Eagle hockey legends will be honored going forward with a Wall of Honor in Wegmans Ice Arena. It will be unveiled during Homecoming and Family Weekend on Saturday, October 8 at 5:15 p.m.
