The 87,000 sq ft facility is conveniently located 15 minutes from campus south on I-485. Two NHL regulation size rinks allow 49ers access to prime evening hours for home games. The goaltenders receive a good workout at shooting practices held on a smaller third sheet of ice. Extreme Ice Center, built in 2006, is complete with a pro-shop, fitness center and conference rooms. The rink is the practice facility for the Charlotte Checkers (ECHL) and home to Team Carolina Junior B (MJHL).
