What Makes the Wolves Different?

Nestled in the Northern range of the Appalachian Mountains, and situated between 3 of New England’s largest lakes, the historic town of Laconia, New Hampshire is home to the EHL’s New England Wolves. 

The Wolves home ice is the Merrill Fay Arena.  Built by a passionate hockey community on 100% donations, the arena was constructed in 1996 and boasts a seating capacity of nearly 1000.   Large crowds attend many of the “community- first” type events that built the Arena in the first place.  Whether it be a game to benefit the NH Humane Society, a local boy battling leukemia, or the Annual JBT Benefit Game, the fans in Laconia create a “home ice advantage” for the Wolves throughout New Hampshire’s cold winters.

The scenic surroundings help players train their bodies in ways that can’t be duplicated anywhere else. Resistance training on sand at the famous Weirs Beach in Laconia, hiking up a Mountain, or running the WoW Trail, create a unique understanding of the player’s involvement and integration in their community, and the Wolves give back by volunteering over 1000 man hours to community service projects in the Lakes Region every year. 

The New England Wolves have access to tremendous resources, and players enjoy outstanding amenities:

*       Dedicated Team locker rooms with seating and lockers for 25.
