Bentley’s NCAA Division I hockey team plays at The Bentley Arena, and it’s a common location for career fairs, high-profile speakers, alumni events and concerts.
Off the ice, students use the arena as a “living lab,” analyzing the building’s energy data, creating marketing projects and sales plans for season tickets, and through other academic projects.
The Bentley Arena is the first standalone ice arena in the country to receive LEED Platinum certification, and the first LEED-certified building on the University’s century-old campus. As a prime example of sustainable design and energy efficiency, the arena will be a place for generations of Falcons to gather, play, cheer and learn.
Grab-n-go food options are available, including allergy-friendly and vegetarian options. There is a cash bar with beer and wine for fans 21+ with valid ID. The bar is cash only.

Catch a Hockey Game
The Falcons play in the Atlantic Hockey conference against rivals such as Army West Point, the Air Force Academy and Holy Cross. High profile opponents from other conferences including Hockey East and ECAC also visit each season. The team is coached by Bentley alum Ryan Soderquist ’00, who is also the program’s all-time leading scorer. Bentley hockey student-athletes are regularly recognized for their accomplishments both on and off the ice.
