Fun Facts

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sullivan Arena was converted into a temporary homeless shelter to provide a safe space for Anchorage's vulnerable population.

The arena is named after George M. Sullivan, who served as the mayor of Anchorage from 1967 to 1981.

Beyond hockey games, Sullivan Arena is a venue for concerts, trade shows, and community events, making it a versatile hub for Anchorage.

The arena opened its doors in 1983 and has since been a central part of Anchorage's cultural and sports scene.

The Alaska Aces, a professional ice hockey team, called Sullivan Arena home until the team ceased operations in 2017.

The arena is conveniently situated near the scenic Chester Creek Greenbelt, offering visitors a chance to enjoy nature before or after events.
