Arena
The Sudbury Wolves play their home games at the Sudbury Arena, which was constructed in 1951 and is located in the downtown core. The arena holds 5,743 spectators - 4,743 seats and 1,000 standing room, and has an ice size of 200' x 85'. Every time the Wolves score a goal, a taxidermic wolf rolls out on a pulley system to howl at the opposing team's bench. The City of Greater Sudbury and the hockey club have announced plans to upgrade the facility. The 1.5 million dollar expansion includes 12 new suites, 990 club seats, a new lounge as well as improved lounge and washroom faciltities. It'll be ready for the 2007-2008 hockey season.
