Anchorage's 1974 two-rink arena

Ben Boeke Ice Arena opened in Anchorage in 1974 and is named for Benjamin W. Boeke, the city clerk from 1947 to 1967, who served under 11 mayors and 8 city managers. The Municipality of Anchorage owns the building.

It has two ice surfaces, each 200 by 85 feet. Rink 1 seats 688 with room for 275 more standing, while the much smaller Rink 2 seats about 100. The arena stands next to Sullivan Arena, and its two sheets host youth and adult hockey, figure skating and public sessions.

When Sullivan Arena was being used as a homeless shelter, the NAHL's Anchorage Wolverines made Ben Boeke their temporary home for three seasons from 2021 before moving into Sullivan in 2024. ACIM now manages the rinks as a community-owned organization that measures success in ice hours, healthy programs and trust rather than profit.
