What is the name of the Hockey Centre used for the 2018 Olympic Men's Ice Hockey?

The story behind the answer

The Hockey Centre used for the 2018 Olympic men's ice hockey tournament was Gangneung Hockey Centre. The indoor arena is located in Gangneung, South Korea, within the Gangneung Coastal Cluster of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Gangneung Hockey Centre served as the main venue for the men's tournament, including the medal games. It has a seating capacity of about 10,000 and uses an International Ice Hockey Federation-sized rink measuring 60 by 30 metres. Construction began in 2014, and the completed venue opened in 2017.

The 2018 men's tournament ran from February 14 to February 25. The Olympic ice hockey events used two arenas: Gangneung Hockey Centre hosted the men's competition, while Kwandong Hockey Centre hosted the women's competition. That distinction is the main source of confusion when the venues are remembered only as “the hockey centre.” The arena also hosted ice sledge hockey during the 2018 Winter Paralympics.
