Matthews Arena

The Wentworth ice hockey team practices and plays all of its home games at Matthews Arena, on the campus of Northeastern University. This 6,000 seat arena was renovated in 1995 to widen the ice surface to a 200 X 90 foot surface that hosts HOCKEY EAST and international hockey games and several world-class figure skating shows. The lobby and reception areas were also renovated to show off the historic beauty of this world-class facility.

During the spring and summer of 2009, the Arena, which turned 100 years old in April, 2010, underwent its most substantial renovation to include:

• Brand new videoboard at center ice

• Brand new locker room suites for men's & women's hockey

• Brand new locker room for men's basketball

• Brand new strength & conditioning center with adjacent sports medicine treatment room

• Brand new seats throughout the arena

• Brand new 23-seat press box equipped with televisions and Internet access

• Updated lobby with new concession stands and high definition LCD televisions

Over time, Wentworth has hosted numerous ECAC Hockey Tournament games in the venerable old building, including the 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2012 ECAC Northeast Championship Game, as well as hosting the 2004 ECAC Northeast Championship Weekend.  In conference championship games played at Matthews, the Leopards are 4-1.
