description

In Russian, Schaiba refers to the game device in ice hockey, the puck . The arena was completed in 2013. The 2013 U18 Junior Ice Hockey World Championship and a four-country sledge ice hockey tournament were held in August and September 2013 as test competitions in the run-up to the Winter Olympics .

In addition to group games of the 2014 Olympic ice hockey tournaments, the Schaiba Arena also hosted the sledge ice hockey competition of the 2014 Winter Paralympics .

The arena was originally supposed to cost $ 27.2 million to build, but construction costs are currently estimated at $ 35.5 million. After the Paralympics ended, the arena was supposed to be dismantled and rebuilt in another Russian city. Candidates for this were Krasnodar and Nizhny Novgorod . However, it has not been dismantled.
