Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, New York

The 1932 Arena, as it was originally known, was enclosed by a curved, vaulted ceiling and had seating for more than 4,000.

6 of the 12 ice Hockey games at the 1932 Olympics were played inside this arena, the other 6 on the outdoor arena in the rear of the building.

In 2005, the rink was renamed after Jack Shea, who had won two speed skating gold medals in 1932.

Nearing its 90th birthday, the rink was in a decrepit state. Instead of razing the venue, however, the Olympic Regional Development Authority decided to renovate the building. After nine months of work, the Jack Shea Arena reopened on December 3, 2021, featuring many new amenities, including a dehumidification system, new refrigeration system, concession area, and the ability to be converted between Olympic (100 feet wide) and NHL (85 feet wide) size arenas.
