J. Thom Lawler Arena

The Volpe Center is the home of Merrimack hockey's J. Thom Lawler Arena and is also home to the Merrimack men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams. Merrimack student-athletes on all teams use the strength and conditioning center, and the facility features locker rooms for each team and facilities for visiting teams as well. The Volpe Center has been home to NCAA contests, ECAC Tournaments, Merrimack Christmas Tournaments, the Merrimack Invitational, and the Blue Gold Tournament. The Volpe Center has also been home to high schools such as Austin Prep, North Andover, North Reading, the MIAA Tournament, and Hockey Night in Boston. The small, intimate setting places spectators right on the brink of the action.
