The Toscano Family Ice Forum is a state-of-the-art 2,600-seat ice hockey arena on the Storrs campus, home of UConn men's and women's ice hockey teams. The arena opened in January 2023.

The facility includes full Division I training and support for the women’s and men’s ice hockey teams; team lounges, dry locker area and locker rooms with video displays; locker rooms for visiting teams; training space with a hydrotherapy area; strength and conditioning room; and other areas such as coaches’ offices, a press box, and a large center-hung display scoreboard with perimeter ribbon boards that will be designed to create an outstanding experience for fans.

The new Forum is located on Hillside Road across the street from the  baseball fields. The project conforms to Connecticut High Performance Building Code regulations, is registered as a LEED Gold and a SITES-certified project.
