CHEEL ARENA

CHEEL ARENA
Well over a million fans have seen the Golden Knights
boast a very impressive 278-135-46 record at Cheel
Arena since the building's opening in 1991.
Golden Knights
CHEEL CAMPUS CENTER
R
egarded by many as among the
finest college hockey facilities
in the country, Cheel Arena has
proved to be an ideal venue in which
to watch some of the best hockey
that the NCAA has to offer. From the
inaugural 9-3 opening night victory
over Boston College on October
26, 1991, to their ECAC Hockey
first-round playoff series sweep of
Princeton last March, the Golden
Knights have supplied their loyal fans
with plenty to cheer about within the
spectacular confines of the 3,000-seat
arena at the Cheel Campus Center.
“Cheel Arena is one of the
showcase hockey arenas in the nation,
and a great tribute to all the players,
coaches and staff at Clarkson University and the ECAC,” stated former
ECAC Commissioner Clayton Chapman.
For the previous 53 years, the Knights enjoyed a tremendous home-ice
advantage at old Walker Arena. The success and enthusiasm generated at
Cheel Arena, where the Knights have posted a 278-135-46 home record
the past 25 seasons, indicates Clarkson hockey continues to dominate on
its home ice. The Knights boasted the third best home-winning percentage
(,842%) in the nation in 2015-16.
The Campus Center provides the University with a 110,000-square-foot
campus center and multipurpose arena. A major gift commitment from
Helen Snell Cheel resulted in the building being called the Cheel Campus
Center. The arena features a regulation ice surface measuring 85' x 200'
and approximately 3,000 individual backed seats, reached from sloping
aisles. Every
seat offers
unobstructed
sight lines to
the ice surface.
The arena will
accommodate
an additional
4 0 0 - 9 0 0
spectators in the
standing-room
areas along its
perimeter. Five spacious carpeted dressing rooms for Clarkson's men's
and women's teams, and visiting teams, plus a complete training room, a
fully equipped weight room, players lounge, and coaches’ offices, as well
as storage and skate-sharpening areas, are included in the lower level of
the complex. The upper level features a coaches suite and hospitality area
that overlooks the arena surface from center-ice. Highlighting the arena
high above center-ice is a Fairplay board 14’by 13’-- 48” by 60 “ full
color for animations, pictures, and message center.
In addition to hosting some of the finest hockey in the Northeast, the
multipurpose arena also serves the entire Clarkson community, which can
congregate in one place for convocations, commencement, concerts, and
other events for the first time in many years. This facility is located on the
hill campus, adjacent to the CAMP Building, Snell Field and the indoor
Recreation Center. Final design of the Campus Center was conducted by
Daniel F. Tully Associates Inc. of Boston. Construction began June 15,
1990, and was completed in late August 1991.
Through the first 25 seasons at Cheel, 1,249,386 fans have witnessed
the Knights play. Clarkson has drawn over 3,000 fans to one game 154
times, and the opening contest against Boston College attracted 3,843,
more than double the listed capacity of 1,800 at
Walker Arena. On January 18, 2003 a record Cheel
Arena crowd of 4,125 saw the Golden Knights battle
arch-rival St. Lawrence.
“They did everything right—the whole thing,”
exclaimed Len Ceglarski, former Clarkson and
Boston College head coach, at Cheel’s opening.
“They really needed a student union and a new rink,
and this is going to be a great tool for them. It is just
a beautiful building.”

Clarkson and St. Lawrence have played before 17
of the 20 largest crowds at Cheel Arena with the
Knights winning 12 of those games.
