Ingalls Rink, also known as the Yale Whale, is an ice hockey rink located on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. It is the home of the Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey team. The rink was designed by the renowned architect Eero Saarinen and opened in 1958.

Design and Architecture

Ingalls Rink is notable for its distinctive design, which features a sweeping, curved roof that resembles the back of a whale, hence its nickname, the "Yale Whale." The structure is supported by a central spine and a series of cables, creating an open and airy interior space. The innovative design has made Ingalls Rink an architectural landmark.

History

The rink was named in honor of David S. Ingalls, a Yale alumnus and World War I flying ace, who contributed significantly to the funding of the project. Since its opening, Ingalls Rink has been a central venue for Yale's ice hockey games and has hosted numerous important matches and tournaments.

Renovations

Over the years, Ingalls Rink has undergone several renovations to modernize its facilities and improve the experience for players and spectators. Notable renovations include the addition of new locker rooms, improved seating, and upgraded ice-making equipment.

Capacity and Facilities

Ingalls Rink has a seating capacity of 3,500. The rink features state-of-the-art facilities, including modern locker rooms, training areas, and a press box. The venue is also used for other events, such as figure skating and community ice skating sessions.
