Ufa Arena

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ufa Arena is a 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Ufa, Russia that opened in 2007. It has replaced Ice Palace Salavat Yulaev as the home of Russian Super League ice hockey team, Salavat Yulaev Ufa.

The first events in the arena were the first two games of the 2007 Super Series, a hockey series between Canada and Russia. There were issues during the game with fog building up over the ice surface during the game, as the ice had been chilled but the air conditioning not yet functional in the as-yet uncompleted building.
