National Hockey Center is a 5,763-seat hockey arena in St. Cloud, Minnesota. It is home to the St. Cloud State University Huskies men's & women's ice hockey teams, and the Saint John's (MN) Johnnies ice hockey team. The main rink is now named for former SCSU President Brendan J. McDonald, who advocated the team's move to Division I hockey. The arena consists of a lower and upper deck on the sides the ice. The west end (near the entrance) features a few seats, while east contains no seating. Contrary to some beliefs, the movie "Mighty Ducks" was not filmed here.

It is also a concert venue, with a capacity of up to 7,763. Graduation ceremonies have also been held at the arena.
