Sibir Arena (Russian: Сибирь Арена) is an indoor ice hockey arena in Novosibirsk, Russia. Opened in 2023 with a capacity of 10,634, it is the home arena of HC Sibir Novosibirsk of the Kontinental Hockey League and Sibirskie Snaypery of the Minor Hockey League.
History[edit]
In 2018, the IIHF announced that both Novosibirsk and the city of Omsk would host the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship and as a result of this, both KHL teams in both cities would build new, modern stadiums to host the games. Construction of the new arena began in August of 2019 and was originally slated to be finished by September of 2022, but was delayed and officially completed in December of that same year. The first event to be held at the arena was supposed to be held on February 21, 2023, with a tournament between the local law enforcement agencies during the Defender of the Fatherland Day holiday, but it was ultimately canceled and the day was used to test the equipment in the arena..[1]
On August 13, 2023, the arena officially opened and hosted a game between the Russia men's national under-18 ice hockey team and the Belarus men's national under-18 ice hockey team, as well as a concert from Russian DJ DJ Smash and Belarusian singer Jeanet. After 59 years at the Ice Sports Palace Sibir, HC Sibir played their first game at the new arena on September 7, 2023 against Barys Astana. The game went to a shootout and Sibir's Taylor Beck scored the only goal, as they defeated Barys 1-0.
