Mehtimäki, Joensuu's ice hall since 1982

Mehtimäen jäähalli, also called Joensuun jäähalli and marketed as PKS Areena, opened in autumn 1982 after a long political debate: building an ice hall was one of the most discussed municipal questions in Joensuu in the 1970s, and the city finally agreed in 1978. Its chief designer, Georgios Fasoulas, wanted Joensuu to get an individual hall rather than a concrete barn, and the geothermal cooling was new technology among ice halls of the time.

The original competition hall was completely renewed in 2023-24. Two training halls built beside it, in 2002 and 2019, form the ice sports centre with it; the 2002 hall's rink measures 26 by 56 metres. The main hall has stands on all four sides and room for about 4,000 spectators, 2,500 of them seated. It is the home of Joensuun Kiekko-Pojat of Mestis, the junior club Juniori Jokipojat and the figure and formation skaters of Joensuun Kataja.

Besides ice sports the hall has hosted league basketball, floorball matches, tennis tournaments and boxing. Its marketing name was LVI-Myller Areena in 2015-2017 and has been PKS Areena since 2017, when Pohjois-Karjalan Sähkö became its name sponsor.
