Editing SNHU Arena (section)

==Sporting events==
===Minor league ice hockey===
The arena was home to two iterations of the Manchester Monarchs, [[Manchester Monarchs (AHL)|one from 2001 to 2015]] in the [[American Hockey League]] and another [[Manchester Monarchs (ECHL)|from 2015 to 2019]] in the [[ECHL]]. Both the AHL and ECHL Monarchs franchises were [[Los Angeles Kings]] farm teams. After the 2014–2015 season, Manchester and [[Ontario, California]], were two of several markets affected by a "franchise swap" between the ECHL and AHL. The AHL Monarchs franchise moved to Southern California, and the [[Ontario Reign (ECHL)|ECHL's Ontario Reign]] moved to Manchester. The AHL Monarchs and ECHL Reign were both owned by the same company who owned the Kings. A year later, after the 2015–2016 season, the Kings sold the newly relocated ECHL Monarchs to an entity known as PPI Sports LLC. PPI was unable to make the team profitable at the ECHL level, and abruptly closed down the team at the end of the 2019 season after failing to find another buyer.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.unionleader.com/news/business/monarchs-pull-the-plug-on-professional-hockey-in-manchester/article_d5bf8bea-69a8-5c19-b1b3-24097c0083f6.html |title=Monarchs pull the plug on professional hockey in Manchester |work=[[New Hampshire Union Leader]] |date=May 15, 2019}}</ref> The arena is actively seeking a new tenant.

The AHL Monarchs won the [[Calder Cup]] at the end of their last season before moving to [[Ontario Reign (AHL)|Ontario, California]].

The arena has hosted the [[2004–05 AHL season|2005 AHL All-Star Game]].

===Boxing===
On November 19, 2021, SNHU Arena was the site of [[Demetrius Andrade]] vs [[Jason Quigley]], a fight on [[Matchroom]] Boxing. This was SNHU Arena's first boxing fight.

===Indoor football===
From 2004 to 2009, the arena was the home of the [[Manchester Wolves]] of the now disbanded [[AF2]], the [[Arena Football League]]'s minor league.

In 2016, a women's team, the [[New England Liberty]] of the [[Legends Football League]], played their home games at the arena, although the Liberty played only one home game during their existence. The Liberty's LFL schedule was only four games long. After losing their first two games on the road, the Liberty lost their first home game 77–7 to the [[Chicago Bliss]], and subsequently opted to forfeit their second and final regular season home game.

===Basketball===
The [[Boston Celtics]] of the [[NBA]] sometimes play preseason games at the arena. The [[Harlem Globetrotters]] will occasionally go to the arena.

===Collegiate===
The [[University of New Hampshire]] men's hockey team occasionally plays some home games at the arena, annually for several years against [[Dartmouth College]] in the [[New Hampshire–Dartmouth rivalry|Battle for the Riverstone Cup]], and against the [[Maine Black Bears|University of Maine Black Bears]] in the [[New Hampshire–Maine hockey rivalry|Border War]]. UNH has not scheduled any games at the arena since the 2015–2016 season, when UNH beat Maine 7–0 on December 30, 2015.

Since 2004, Manchester has been a regular site in the rotation for the Regional tournaments, hosting almost every two years. UNH has been the host institution for the Northeast Regional in [[2004 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2004]], [[2007 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2007]], [[2009 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2009]], [[2011 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2011]], [[2013 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2013]], [[2015 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2015]], [[2017 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2017]], [[2019 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2019]], [[2023 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament|2023]], and [[2025 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament|2025]]. UNH played regional tournament games in Manchester every one of those years except 2017, 2019, 2023, and 2025 when the Wildcats failed to qualify for the national championship.

Even though the institution's name is on the facility, none of SNHU's athletic programs play any home games at the arena.

===Professional wrestling===
The [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] has held events at the arena almost every year since 2002, including a [[pay per view]] [[Backlash (2005)|WWE Backlash]] show in 2005. The most recent WWE event at the arena was on July 9, 2019, when Manchester hosted the weekly [[WWE Smackdown]] and [[205 Live (WWE brand)|WWE 205]] series. WWE held a live event on June 4, 2023, with Seth "Freakin" Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Championship vs The Miz
