The Danbury Ice Arena is a multi-purpose arena in Danbury, Connecticut that can seat about 3,000.[1][2] It was built in 1999 with renovation and expansion in 2004.
The Danbury Arena was the home of the Danbury Trashers of the United Hockey League from 2004 to 2006, and the New England Stars of the North Eastern Hockey League in 2006–07. In 2008, the Danbury Mad Hatters of the Eastern Professional Hockey League signed a lease with the arena[3] and played one season before the league folded.
On December 27, 2009, the newly formed Federal Hockey League announced that the Danbury Arena would be home to the Danbury Whalers.[4] On April 3, 2015, the Danbury Ice Arena did not want to renew their contract with the Danbury Whalers and gave them a notice to evict by April 17, leaving the last remaining team from the inaugural FHL season homeless.[5] After initially announcing the Stateline Whalers to begin playing in nearby Brewster, New York, the Whalers organization was dissolved and a new group started the Danbury Titans in the FHL to play the 2015–16 season. The Titans also ceased operations in 2017.
In 2019, the Hall family,[6] who had owned the arena for 18 years, sold the arena to Diamond Properties.[7]
