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. Fact|date=February 2007
