The second updated edition of the IIHF Ice Arena Guide is accessible here . Building on the success of the first edition, the new guide has been meticulously revised to address the evolving landscape of ice hockey facilities over the past years.
Facing ever-growing rising energy costs and a lack of innovative ice arena technologies, it has proven difficult for ice hockey professionals to access the latest available resources on the matter. The new publication will undoubtedly help to fill this void.
The IIHF’s commitment to sustainability has led its members and partners to explore all the necessary interactions between different actors within ice hockey arenas from an environmental perspective. This valuable information can also be accessed in a separate document, the "Guide to Sustainable Ice Arenas," to further support the environmentally responsible management of ice sports facilities.
“Our partnership also extends beyond IIHF office members. We have been fortunate to receive invaluable help and assistance from a diverse group of stakeholders, all united by their unwavering passion for the sport. Their dedication has been instrumental in driving innovation and improving our understanding of the ever-evolving landscape of ice hockey facilities”, explains Viesturs Koziols, IIHF Council Member.
This guide should be seen as a key to understanding how to bring hockey and artificial ice to every community. It was created in cooperation with global experts and aims to give the necessary foundation of knowledge that will help grow the game while keeping it affordable and accessible.
“As the President of the International Ice Hockey Federation, I have the pleasure of watching ice hockey reach new people every year. I hope you will use this guide as a starting point to inspire, encourage and expand the ice hockey family in your community”, concludes Luc Tardif, IIHF President.
