The LaHaye Ice Center opened in January 2006 due to funds generously donated by Drs. Tim and Beverly LaHaye. The LaHayes have been friends and supporters of Liberty University (LU) for years and also donated the LaHaye Student Center located across from the LaHaye Ice Center on the campus of Liberty University.
The LaHaye Ice Center services the student body of Liberty University and the greater Lynchburg area while playing home to the Liberty University ACHA Division I Hockey Men's and Woman's hockey teams, as well as the Men's Division II JV team. It is exciting to see Liberty's hockey teams competing against long time perennial powerhouse franchises such as Penn Sate, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Oklahoma. The Ice Center holds up to 3,000 fans at the Flames home games.
Although the LaHaye Ice Center is centrally located on the campus of Liberty University, it is utilized greatly by the community. The LaHaye Ice Center offers a variety of skating activities, which include public skating, learn to skate lessons, youth and adult hockey where all skate levels are welcome.
There are many ways to enjoy ice hockey as well, from being a Liberty Flames Hockey spectator in a crowd of up to 3,000, to playing in a hockey league, stick 'n puck, or a clinic. Ice fans can also reserve the ice for private skate lessons, group rentals, birthday parties, and more.
