List of ice hockey arenas by capacity

The following is a list of ice hockey arenas by capacity. Only those arenas that currently regularly host ice hockey games with paid admission (e.g. professional, major junior, or university) are included. Outdoor stadiums that have hosted occasional hockey games are not included. Buildings under construction are not included. Buildings are ranked by their current maximum capacity for hockey games, not for other events—which is often substantially different because of ice hockey's unique playing surface, the ice rink. Capacities do not include standing room tickets. All arenas with a capacity of 15,000 or more are included. Arenas with an are NHL arenas.
