Home of the Vancouver Canucks, this arena has received considerable acclaim for its comfortable seating and attractive design. Only minor modifications were needed to make this already state-of-the-art facility Olympic-ready, such as the inclusion of additional dressing rooms. The ice sheet will remain sized to North American standards for the tournament according to a decision made by the the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) in 2006.
