Terry Martin Arena

SUNY Canton’s ice arena inside the Convocation, Athletic & Recreation Center (CARC), also known as Roos House, was officially named Terry Martin Arena on November 16, 2024 as part of Hockey Reunion Weekend.

Terry Martin Arena is home to SUNY Canton’s men’s and women’s varsity ice hockey teams as well as the Roos AAU club hockey team as all three teams play and practice in the ice arena.

The rink is the first ever on SUNY Canton’s campus and features a fresh ice surface using a state-of-the-art refrigeration system. Terry Martin Arena offers comfortable stadium seating for fans and state-of-the-art locker room facilities that make it a great place to watch and play. The arena is also used for intramurals and offers numerous rentals for a variety of local teams and various clubs and organizations that utilize the facility.

Martin served as the College’s head men’s ice hockey coach from 1974 to 1999, compiling a record of 527-211-29, including a 102-11-8 mark in his final four seasons. His team won 12 national championship titles throughout his career. Mr. Martin also served as men’s athletic director, women’s soccer coach, men’s lacrosse coach, and taught in the physical education department. He was the 2009 recipient of the American Hockey Coaches Association’s prestigious John “Snooks” Kelley Founders Award, recognizing the impact he had on the collegiate sport. Terry’s players are among the college’s most passionate alumni and they say it is because their coach dramatically affected their lives in incredible ways.

Martin was inducted into SUNY Canton’s inaugural Hall of Fame Class in the Summer of 2011.
