Spirit Ice Arena



The Spirit Ice Arena (formerly the Arctic Wolf Ice Center (2005-2012)) is an indoor arena located in College Station, Texas. The arena opened in 2005.

The sport of hockey began growing in Texas and the need for an arena became apparent. A group of students at Texas A & M put together an ice hockey team in 1997. However, there was no ice rink with in 100 miles of College Station. The closest arenas were in Austin and Houston, students were forced to drive to either city for practice and games. The school made men's ice hockey an official club sport and the program continued to develop and travel.

By 2005 the city of College Station came together with private investors and built the Arctic Wolf Ice Center which became the Aggies home. The arena was purchased by a private investor and the arena was renamed to the Spirit Ice Arena.

In addition to the Aggies club hockey team, who are a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association playing in the Texas Collegiate Hockey Conference which have been a tenant since the arena opened; the facility is also became home to the Texas RoadRunners of the North American 3 Hockey League in 2016. The Brazos Valley Storm youth hockey program has also been based out of the arena.
