Portland's city-owned NHL-size rink, open since 1984 and renamed for William B. Troubh in 2015
The William B. Troubh Ice Arena opened in 1984 as the Portland Ice Arena, a municipal rink owned by the City of Portland. A 20-year bond paid for the building and was repaid in 2004. On January 1, 2015, the city renamed the arena in dedication to William B. Troubh.
The building is an NHL-size arena with four locker rooms, seating for 750 and standing room for 1,000, and the ice stays in year-round. It sits in the city's athletic complex alongside Fitzpatrick Stadium, Hadlock Field and the Portland Expo. Over the years the arena has hosted Portland Pirates hockey practices, local amateur teams and open skating. Today Portland High School uses the arena for its sporting events, and a member club of the Grand National Curling Club is hosted here. During the skating year an estimated 200,000 people come through the doors as skaters or spectators.
The first major upgrades since opening came in the summer of 2012, when the arena closed for energy-efficiency repairs. Voters had approved the bond for that work in 2011, and the repairs were estimated to save the city 67,000 kilowatt-hours of energy a year.
