History

Since the 2000-01 season, the St. Norbert College hockey team has been playing at the Cornerstone Community Center, located in Ashwaubenon.

The St. Norbert College hockey program enjoys one of the best home advantages in college sports when playing at the Cornerstone. When 14th century poet Dante Alighieri was penning his masterwork The Divine Comedy and the immortal line, “All hope abandon ye who enter here,” he could have easily been referring to visiting hockey teams at the Cornerstone Community Center.

St. Norbert is 129-8-6 in its last 143 games at the Cornerstone Community Center. In the last nine seasons, the Green Knights are a sparkling 142-11-8 at the Cornerstone, with three losses and one tie coming to national champion UW-Superior during the 2001-02 season.

All-time, St. Norbert is 151-15-9 at the Cornerstone Community Center as of Feb. 15, 2011, which includes a 9-4-1 mark there its first season in the building in 2000-01. Under Tim Coghlin, St. Norbert is 229-37-15 at home, which includes games at Brown County Arena, Resch Center and De Pere Ice Arena.

The Cornerstone Community Center opened in the fall of 2000 as St. Norbert College’s new home rink. The Green Knights played at the De Pere Ice Arena from the program’s inception in 1988 until departing for the Cornerstone Community Center.

The main rink features bleacher seating for 1,876 spectators, with standing room pushing the maximum capacity to about 2,000 fans. Fans have outstanding sight lines in the facility, along with radiant heat and ample parking, restroom and concession facilities.

St. Norbert College has its own state-of-the-art locker and training room facilities, and there are 10 auxiliary locker rooms for visiting teams as well as an officials’ locker room. An Olympic-sized rink, the Resch Olympic Pavilion, was added on to the building during the winter of 2007-08 and serves as the home rink for the St. Norbert College women's hockey program.

An auxiliary rink is located to the north of the main rink, which allows the facility to host several youth tournaments as well as other youth play and skatearounds when a St. Norbert College game is in progress.

Also located on the main concourse off the lower lobby is the St. Norbert College Hockey Shop. The store has the largest inventory of hockey equipment in Northeast Wisconsin as well as St. Norbert College and National Hockey League souvenir merchandise.
