Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum is a 2,000-seat hockey rink in Storrs, Connecticut. It is home to the University of Connecticut Huskies ice hockey team. It opened on November 7, 1998, replacing the outdoor UConn Ice Arena, which was in use since the 1960s. It was opened in time for the hockey team's elevation to Division I status. The arena was used for the 2000 MAAC Championship (won by UConn), the 2001 MAAC tournament, and the 2002 ECAC women's hockey tournament. The building was named for Mark E. Freitas '81, a former hockey letter winner and benefactor, on February 5, 2005.
