Warrior Ice Arena |
Warrior Arena is an ice hockey arena and practice facility in Brighton, Boston, Massachusetts. The arena is part of a larger mixed-use development being constructed by New Balance at Boston Landing that includes the headquarters of New Balance and that will also include shops, a hotel and the practice facility of the Boston Bruins.[1] The arena has naming rights from the New Balance owned Warrior Sports which is the brand New Balance uses for their hockey products.
Warrior Arena is the home arena of the Boston Pride of the National Women's Hockey League and the practice facility of the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League who moved in from Harvard University's Bright-Landry Hockey Center, and Ristuccia Ice Arena in Wilmington, Massachusetts respectively.[2]
Public transit to the facility is via the MBTA Boston Landing station, a station on the MBTA Commuter Rail system's Framingham/Worcester Line. Groundbreaking took place in December 2014, with the completed facility hosting its grand opening on September 8th, 2016.[3]
The Bruins' fellow tenants at the TD Garden when both are in their respective wintertime league seasons, the Boston Celtics NBA basketball team, now have their own, brand new professional basketball training facility named The Auerbach Center completed just west of the Warrior Ice Arena, at 40 Guest Street, which itself opened on June 19, 2018.[4][5]
