The William O. Smith Recreation Center

The William O. Smith Recreation Center is our home rink, located in Olean, just 3 miles from campus. The center is located in Olean’s War Veterans Park at the corner of East State and Front streets, across from Bradner Stadium.

There is plenty of onsite parking and permanent bleacher seating at the rink, which can accommodate about 600 spectators.

Our ACHA team practices here 3 times per week. Our AAU team practices here twice per week. We have a large designated locker room reserved for us for all games and practices.

The Richter Center at St. Bonaventure University

The Richter Center is our state-of-the-art fitness and recreation center located in the heart of campus, an easy walk from any residence hall.

It houses three full-size basketball courts, one with a multi-purpose floor, an elevated walking/running track, racquetball courts, and over 5000 square feet of weight lifting and cardiovascular equipment.

This is where both of our teams conduct their team workouts, all which are led by our full time strength and conditioning coach Greg Gustin. Our ACHA team works out as a team 3 days a week and our AAU team twice a week. Aside from our team workouts, students have full access to the Richter Center during their time at SBU.

The training room is equipped with ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation equipment, a hydrocollator for heat treatments, as well as other equipment for the prevention and treatment of injuries.
