Opened in April 2000, the Arena doubles as an Olympic-sized ice rink and a concert venue, in which case the ice is boarded over and the seating and staging are converted to suit the event.
The seating capacity of the Arena is 7,500 for ice sports and 10,000 for concerts.

The Olympic Rink was the second Olympic-sized ice pad to be opened, in April 2001.
Sometimes referred to as the 'family rink', this is where the public ice skating sessions and fun family events are accommodated.

Incorporating these two ice pads, the NIC is used for a range of ice sports activities: ice hockey, figure skating, ice dancing, speed skating and synchronized skating.
As well as encouraging absolute beginners to participate in these ice sports, there are many elite ice skaters training at the NIC.
