New Arena coming soon for Tommies

The 2012-2013 AUS season will be the dawn of a new era for the St. Thomas University Tommies men's and women's hockey teams.  In the fall of 2012 the new $29.2 million "Grant-Harvey Centre" will be completed and our Tommies will have an exciting new home.

Construction of new Grant-Harvey Centre April, 2011.

"The steel and concrete two-storey complex features an 8,000 square-metre ground-floor footprint. It will feature an Olympic-size ice surface and an NHL-size ice surface and will be home to the men's and women's ice hockey teams from St. Thomas University....
The two-level complex will also offer a three-lane walking/running track on the upper level as well as a community event room, a multi-purpose meeting room and full kitchen facilities. The Olympic-size ice surface will have 500 seats for spectators while the NHL surface will feature seating for 1,500. There will be 10 dressing rooms and a referees' room in the complex.
The Grant-Harvey Centre will be the cornerstone of a 45-acre recreational hub. The grounds will include an artificial turf soccer/football pitch, a six-court indoor tennis facility, a two-acre, fenced dog-walking park and parking for more than 600 vehicles." City of Fredericton Press Release
