The Amherst Stadium was built in 1959, since this time the Stadium has been home to many great events on and off the ice. A 4.2 million dollar rennovation was completed in August 2008. This work maintains the atmosphere and history of the old facility and provides some much needed improvements to heating and cooler systems, dressing rooms and public amenities. The installation of an elevator makes this facility barrier-free.
