The team was finally promoted to D-I in 1998 when the Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum was completed.
In 2014, UConn joined Hockey East despite the Ice Forum not meeting the league's requirements.

In 2021, the athletic department settled on building a new rink across from the Ice Forum which was scheduled to be completed in time for the start of the 2022–23 season.
