Located on the campus of the University of Notre Dame south of the Joyce Center, the Compton Family Ice Arena is a 5,022-seat ice arena. Opened in 2011, the ice arena features two rinks, one of which is Olympic sized, and is used by the University of Notre Dame’s Irish men’s hockey team.

The 200 feet by 90 feet ice rink is named after the hockey program’s first coach, Charles W. “Lefty” Smith, Jr. The facility also includes locker rooms, several offices, and a weight room. In addition to the hockey team, other members of the campus and the community are permitted to use the ice arena.
