The Delaware Blue Hens women's ice hockey program was upgraded from club to NCAA level in 2025, and now competes in Atlantic Hockey America, a hockey-only conference formed in 2023 by the merger of the men's-only Atlantic Hockey and the women's only College Hockey America.

No matter what is happening next at Northeastern, hockey fans are running out of time to take one last look at this historic rink.

To paraphrase the great Mark Twain, the rumors of Matthews Arena’s demise may have been greatly exaggerated. Earlier this week, Northeastern men’s and women’s hockey announced that they would be playing the 2025 portions of their upcoming schedules at their longtime home rink.
