Events[]
Perth Ice Arena regularly hosts figure skating (including academy), ice hockey, functions (including birthday parties, social clubs, bucks and hens nights and youth groups), disco nights and general public sessions.[1]
Since 2012, the arena has annually hosted fourteen regular season Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) matches involving Perth Thunder between the months of April and August.[2][3]
The Perth Ice Arena in 2016 played host to one of the USA vs Canada Ice Hockey Classic exhibition matches.[4] Team Canada defeated Team USA 6-5 in a shootout in game two.[5] The series has been running since 2015 and has brought a number of current and past NHL players and coaches along with a host of AHL and ECHL players to Australia and New Zealand during that time.[6] Players and coaches donate their time to raise money for the STOPCONCUSSIONS Foundation and awareness of the sport of ice hockey to Australia and New Zealand.[7]
