The Sudbury Community Arena is a multi-purpose arena in the downtown core of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It was built in 1951. It is home to the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League. It has an ice size of 200' x 85', with a capacity of 4,758 seated, and 5,743 standing.
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 Wolves have announced plans to upgrade the facility. The $1.5 million expansion includes 12 new suites, 990 club seats, a new lounge as well as improved lounge and washroom facilities. The expansion is expected to be ready for the 2007-2008 hockey season.
The arena may also have its name changed in the near future; the city is looking into possible corporate sponsors to buy naming rights.[citation needed]
