History
The decision to build a new ice arena was made in 2003. It was first announced by the governor of the Vologda Region Vyacheslav Pozgalev at the opening of the hockey season on September 12, 2003 after Severstal's victory over Metallurg Novokuznetsk. April 8, 2005 Vyacheslav Pozgalev took part in the ceremony of laying the first stone.
The palace was built by Skanska, which has previously been involved in the construction of ice sports complexes in St. Petersburg and Yaroslavl. At first, the sports complex was supposed to be called "Olympic", but this name was not liked by many Cherepovets and the International Olympic Committee.
On November 4, 2006, on the Day of the City of Cherepovets, the Ice Palace received its first visitors. Honored Master of Sports Vladislav Tretyak, President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation Vladimir Loginov were guests of honor at the opening ceremony. Olympic champions in figure skating Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov took part in the gala concert.
The first hockey match at the new arena took place on November 15, 2006 between the teams Severstal and Siberia and ended with a score of 5:3 in favor of the hosts.
