Projected construction to be Summer/Fall 2021 and Summer 2022
Project goal:
Update the locker room, build out a team room and construct a suite of offices for coaches. With the Berry Events Center nearing 20 years in operation, it is time to raise the level of the hockey team spaces and assist with recruiting, retention, and furthering team success while honoring the legacy of Wildcat Hockey.
“I could not be more excited to share with you an early look at our renovation plan. I feel this project honors the traditions and coaches that built Wildcat Hockey into what it is today. The Berry Events Center was once the premier venue in college hockey and served as a huge advantage in recruiting. It is now time for an update to place Northern Michigan’s hockey facility back among college hockey’s elite, to serve our present and secure our future it is time. Recruiting is the lifeblood of college athletics, the planned updates will allow us to secure the high-end recruits we all want donning the Green and Gold.” -Head Coach, Grant Potulny
