Ice District & Rogers Place
Ice District
The new district north of downtown that is home to the Edmonton Oilers, where watching an NHL hockey game is the most authentic Canadian experience.
The Ice District is a mixed-use complex built north of downtown starting in 2016. Its centerpiece is Rogers Place, home arena of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, with a capacity of about 18,000 spectators and a striking curved metal exterior. The hockey season runs from about October to April, and during the playoffs the whole city comes alive. Outside the arena, a public plaza has big screens showing live games, along with bars. The arena also hosts major concerts. Tickets get cheaper the earlier you buy them. The Ice District is reached by light rail, or it is about 5 minutes on foot from Churchill Square.
