Arena, is an arena in Trenčín, Slovakia.[3] The stadium is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the home arena of the Slovak Extraliga club, HK Dukla Trenčín. It has a capacity of 6,150 spectators and was built in 1960.[4][5]
The arena is named after the professional ice hockey player, a three-time National Hockey League All-Star, Pavol Demitra. The name change occurred in 2011 after the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash on 7 September 2011, which killed Demitra and the rest of the Lokomotiv team.[6]
