Holleder Center, home of West Point's hockey and basketball programs, begins its 14th year as the venue for Army's premiere winter sports teams. The 131,000-square-foot building, located adjacent to picturesque Michie Stadium, opened on Oct. 1, 1985, after a 30-month construction period. The $16-million building houses Tate Rink, the home of the Army ice hockey team, Christl Arena, the venue for the men's and women's basketball squads.

Holleder Center was named in honor of Maj. Donald W. Holleder '56, who was killed in action in Vietnam in 1967. While at West Point, Holleder excelled both in basketball and football. He earned All-America honors in the latter, and has been enshrined in the NCAA Hall of Fame.
