The Group A games and two quarter-final games will be played in the traditional Helsinki Ice Hall.

IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships were played there for the first time in 1974 and the most recent one was in 1991. Also, a group in the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship was played at the Helsinki Ice Hall,” said 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Organizing Committee General Secretary Heikki Hietanen.
The Helsinki Ice Hall has an audience capacity for 8,200 spectators.
