Vol. 4: The Jack Kelley Rink at the O'Neil | O'Donnell Forum

The Colby Men's and Women's Ice Hockey teams took the ice for their first practices in the Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center on October 15th, 2020. The 1796-seat arena is home to both teams, as well as future recreational skating offerings as part of Colby Recreation. The Jack Kelley Rink at the O'Neil | O'Donnell Forum houses the Colby Mules Home Hockey Bench and visiting team bench, media box and Nevco 4-sided, center-hung scoreboard.

Holley Tyng, Head Women's Ice Hockey Coach

“Not only is the arena breathtaking but has so many functional spaces for our athletes to train, recover, review film, study, and develop their skills. The Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center has had an immediate impact on our program and gives us the best facility in the NESCAC to attract future Mules!”

Blaise MacDonald, Jack Kelley Head Coach for

Colby Men's Ice Hockey

"We have a first class Division 1 type of facility to grow our program and student athletes. We are not lacking in any amenities and tools for maximum enjoyment and development. From the spacious Williams Family Men’s Ice Hockey Locker Room to the Cerepak-Knight Room with the best audio visual aids, as well as multiple video camera systems including two cameras in the bottom of our center ice hanging scoreboard. It is pure joy to be in the facility."
