Goggin Ice Center

Goggin Ice Center is a multi-purpose sports facility in Oxford, Ohio on the Miami University campus. It replaced the Goggin Ice Arena. Like its predecessor, it is named for Lloyd Goggin, former school vice president who was instrumental in building the original ice arena.The Goggin features two ice rinks aptly named the “A Pad” and the “B Pad” . In addition to being the home for Miami's varsity hockey and synchronized skating programs, the building also hosts intramural hockey and broomball programs, hockey camps, skating lessons, ice shows and other events.HistoryFrom 1976 to 2006, Miami University’s ice home was the Goggin Ice Arena. In 2002, university president James Garland made the executive decision that the new arena would be located across campus from the old “Goggin”. Steve Cady, the founding coach of the hockey program and by then a senior athletic director, was put in charge of the new ice arena project. The new building could not have been completed without the generous donations from Tom Brown, a former Miami goaltender, now CEO of Second Curve Capital in New York City.Steve Cady ArenaSteve Cady Arena, the “A Pad” ice rink inside Goggin Ice Center, includes 2,800 general seats, 102 club-level seats, 4 opera suites and 6 private boxes as well as a large dining area. Including standing-room-only seats, the arena can hold up to nearly 4,000.
