Come 2021-22 National Hockey League (NHL) season, and the Honda Center in California, US, will see a new high-end, state-of-the-art facility in the form of The Impact Club. The Honda Center serves as the residence of the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL and the ‘Ducks’ will offer a members-only restaurant and lounge: The Impact Club.

The Honda Center is an indoor arena located in Anaheim, California. The arena is home to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League. Originally named the Anaheim Arena during construction, it was completed in 1993 at a cost of US$123 million.

The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. The Ducks compete in the NHL as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. Since their inception, the Ducks have played their home games at the Honda Center.

The Impact Club’s sponsor is Impact Networking, business automation/managed IT firm. It features one of the biggest trends in arena/venue club design – proximity and access to Anaheim Ducks players preparing to take the ice each game. The Impact Club is part of the continuous enhancements of Honda Center as the anchor of ocV!BE, a $3-billion, 115-acre, mixed-use community and live entertainment district coming to Anaheim.

Impact Club will sit at the south end of the arena’s Event Level and is billed as the first and only ice-level, members-only VIP club on the West Coast. Steps away from the new Anaheim Ducks locker room, fans will watch players as they prepare to take the ice and make their rink experience memorable.

At over 5,200 square feet, Impact Club will feature a 360-degree in-the-round bar, secluded lounge area with oversized booths, a dining room, walls of LED screens to view and stay connected to the game, and a members-only VIP entrance from the arena’s Plaza Level concourse.

“With construction of the new state-of-the-art Impact Club, spectacular artists’ lofts and expansive Ducks’ locker room, we are completely transforming Honda Center’s event level and enhancing the experience for all,” said Tim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Honda Center and ocV!BE.

“We are proud to partner with Impact Networking to provide a highly exclusive club that will provide members with unparalleled access and an intimate setting at Honda Center,” Ryan added.

Membership includes access for all Ducks preseason, regular season and playoff games at Honda Center. The club’s all-inclusive membership also features luxury amenities, such as premier selections and the pick of food and drink, a variety of upscale liquor, and access to the arena’s Shock Top Terrace on the Premium Club Level. For flexibility, memberships are not attached to designated seating areas.

“The Impact team is honored to partner with the Anaheim Ducks and Honda Center to bring one of the most exclusive VIP experiences in sports to Orange County in the form of Impact Club,” exulted Frank Cucco, Impact head honcho.

“Impact has been part of the Anaheim community since 2018 and we look forward to continuing to grow and welcome fans and clients to Impact Club,” Cucco added.
