Cardiff Bay Ice Rink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cardiff Bay Ice Rink is an temporary ice rink in Cardiff, Wales. It is located in the Cardiff Bay area of the city. It has a capacity of 2,500 for ice hockey and is home to the Cardiff Devils.

The ice rink is a prefabricated structure constructed in Finland. Assembly began in 2006 and after a number of delays opened on 6 December 2006 when the Devils hosted the Manchester Phoenix (ironically also waiting for a similar venue to be completed) in an Elite Ice Hockey League fixture. The Devils won the game 7-4 while Manchester's Tony Hand became the first player to score a goal at the rink.

Cardiff Bay Ice Rink is operated by Planet Ice and is a temporary structure that will remain open until the competition of a new arena.[1]
