The Hamel Recreation Center (formerly the Snively Arena) is an indoor multipurpose facility located in Durham, New Hampshire, United States.

It is currently used by UNH as a recreation building for students and faculty and possesses basketball, squash and racquetball courts, a cycling studio, and a sauna, among several other facilities.

[1] The Snively arena was completed in 1965 and dedicated in honor of A. Barr Snively, a long-time coach at Brown University, Williams College, and UNH who had died from a heart attack the year before.

[2] Initially the arena's main purpose was to house the men's ice hockey team, which had been using an outdoor artificial ice rink for the preceding ten years.

The arena was the home of the ice hockey team for 30 years before being replaced by the Whittemore Center in 1995.
