Artificial ice since 29 December 1962; rebuilt from 1995 and modernised again in 2023
Before the Second World War Krynica had a natural ice rink, and a floodlit hockey pitch of 70 by 35 metres existed by 1927. After the war, in 1948, the idea of an artificial rink arose, and a citizens' committee led by the doctor, mayor and hockey champion Julian Zawadowski was formed to build it. The rink was opened ceremonially on 29 December 1962.
The present hall is a rebuild and extension of that rink: work started in 1995 and the hall was put into use in 1998, with finishing work lasting until 2003. The municipal sport and recreation centre runs it. The ice measures 30 by 60 metres and the stands seat more than 2,600, after a thorough modernisation in 2023 ahead of the European Games.
The old rink hosted the 1931 men's ice hockey world championship, and the hall has staged ice hockey at the 2001 Winter Universiade, Euro Ice Hockey Challenge games in 2003 and 2004, the 2010 under-18 world championship Division I and the 2023 Polish Cup. The club 1928 KTH plays its matches here.
