Hobey Baker Memorial Rink is a 2,092-seat hockey arena in Princeton, New Jersey. It is home to the Princeton University Tigers men's and women's ice hockey teams. It is named in honor of former Princeton star, Hobart A.H. "Hobey" Baker, '14. Baker was a football and hockey star who died shortly after World War I. In December of 1921, it was decided to build an on-campus arena for the hockey team, and to name it after Baker. In recent years, it has been renovated, including a new scoreboard in 1984 and a renovation of the roof in 2002. It is now the second oldest arena still in use in college hockey.
