Goggin Ice Arena was a 2,850-seat hockey rink in Oxford, Ohio. It was formerly home to the Miami University RedHawks ice hockey team. It was built in 1976, and renamed on October 11, 1984 in honor of Lloyd Goggin, former school vice president, who was instrumental in building the arena. The building also housed the school's synchronized skating program, club teams, local youth hockey, and the nation's largest summer hockey camp. Possibly the arena's most popular feature was a 3/4 recreational sheet of ice used primarily for public skating and intramural broomball games. The program boasted up to 107 broomball teams, the largest of its kind in the United States.

In 2006, the team moved into the new Goggin Ice Center.
