Taylor Arena

Taylor Arena was an open to the air covered arena located in Northfield, Vermont.  The arena would serve as the home of the Norwich Cadets men's ice hockey program until it was demolished to make way for the Kreitzberg Arena which opened in 1998.
The arena was a converted horse stable, which originally opened in 1920. The last of the horses left campus in 1948 and was converted to an open to the air rink shortly there after. The arena was dilapidated for a while. It was in bad enough condition that decision had to be made to either end the hockey program or invest in a state of the art facility. The decision was a fortuitous one as the college has hosted many NCAA events at the new arena as well as winning multiple national championships by both men's and women's teams.
