\"UniversityOn Wednesday, PC joined The University of Maine to celebrate the start of construction for major renovations to Harold Alfond Sports Arena and the Shawn Walsh Hockey Center. This project will further UMaine’s commitment to excellence in the state’s only Division I athletics program, strengthen gender equity and provide a preferred destination for high school sports championships, competitions and community events.<\/p>\n

The enhanced Shawn Walsh Center will include new state-of-the-art locker rooms for the women\u2019s and men\u2019s ice hockey programs, a player development center with state-of-the-art sports medicine and strength and conditioning spaces as well as a 42-seat film room, new and renovated offices for coaches and support staff, and expanded lounges and equipment rooms.<\/p>\n

The Harold Alfond Sports Arena will undergo upgrades to enhance the student-athlete and fan experience inside the historic building. Work includes a new entryway complete with an expanded concourse area housing dedicated ticket and concession sales spaces, the UMaine Hockey Hall of Fame and the team store.<\/p>\n
