Standing at 65,000 square feet, with a 200-by-85-foot ice rink, Thomas F. Sullivan Arena opened in August 2003 and serves as the home to the Saint Anselm men's and women's ice hockey programs as well as the synchronized skating club.

In recognition of an unrestricted gift from Robert and Miriam Smith, of Gilford, N.H., the arena is named in memory of Mrs. Smith's father.

The building has capacity for 2,700 and has hosted graduations, high school hockey tournaments, hockey camps, professional hockey practices and other large-scale events. The arena has hosted a number of nationally-ranked opponents for both the men's and women's ice hockey programs and has allowed the teams to boast one of the biggest home-ice advantages in the ECAC.

Hockey teams enjoy spacious locker rooms equipped with custom-made lockers, along with a full-size training room to treat the student-athletes. Above the ice surface, center scoreboards feature a large messageboard and keep fans close to the action.

In addition, the facility features a fully-functional press box, a president's box at center ice, and an area to broadcast live events from the rink. A grand organ donated by Saint Joseph's Junior High School in Manchester rallies and entertains fans, who can wander the concourse and purchase snacks at the concession stand.

The arena is also open to students, faculty, and staff for free-skate.
