The arena hosted various events during the
1980 Winter Olympics
, most famously the
ice hockey tournament
that saw the
United States
' 4?3 victory over the
Soviet Union
, the game commonly referred to as the
Miracle on Ice
. In 2005, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the American victory, the arena was named after the late
Herb Brooks
, who coached the American team during the 1980 Olympics. Other events the arena hosted during the 1980 games include
figure skating events
and the closing ceremony.
The arena has been used several times for
college hockey
championships in the United States. It hosted the
1984
and
1988
men's
NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship
, commonly referred to as the Frozen Four. The arena has hosted the
NCAA Women's Ice Hockey Championship
as well, in
2007
. From 1993 to 2002, the arena annually hosted the
ECAC Hockey
League's championships every March. The ECAC announced in July 2012 that the league would again crown its champion in Herb Brooks Arena for the 2013?14, 2014?15, and 2015?16 seasons. In March 2016 the contract was extended for another three years through the 2019 ECAC tournament.
