The planning for a new ice hockey facility is officially underway! Pending the Board of Trustees approval, the new rink would be for both the men’s and women’s programs. Construction would start in 2024, and the estimated finish would be in 2026. This has been long overdue for both programs.

Over the past decade, head coach Steve Rohlik of the men’s team has taken this team back into championship contention. The Buckeyes made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances (2017-19) and were poised for a program-record fourth straight trip when the remainder of the season was canceled in 2020.
