One of the finest all-purpose facilities in the Northeast, the Harold Alfond Sports Arena has served the University of Maine community since 1977. Completed in February of that year, the building was dedicated by Mr. Alfond and officials of the University on November 18, prior to a hockey game between the Black Bears and Acadia University. UMaine downed the Axemen 7-5 in that inaugural contest, paving the way for the hundreds of Black Bear victories that would follow at “The Alfond.”
The complex is a modern facility with virtually no obstructed-view seats in the building and an excellent view of the ice.
