Arenas

Updated October 9, 2026

You can play a game of Brudvig Hockey in 14 places. Brudvig Arena is home. The other 13 put the same rink somewhere it has no business being: the Moon, an oil rig, a barn full of livestock, a cage at the zoo. Pick one on Choose teams, under the two teams. Your pick is remembered.

All 14

• Brudvig Arena · Home ice. Two decks, a jumbotron and retired numbers in the rafters. The Challenge Cup is played here, always.
• The Moon · Tranquility, roughly. Grey dust, a black sky and Earth over the far boards. The puck behaves exactly as it does at home. We checked.
• Antarctica · The ice shelf. Open air on the ice sheet, aurora overhead. The penguins came for the fish and stayed for the hitting.
• Oil Rig · Offshore, deck four. A rink on a platform deck at dusk. Hard hats in the stands and a flare stack that never goes out.
• Alien Spaceship · Low orbit. Somebody abducted a rink. The fans have more eyes than you, and they are using all of them.
• The Barn · A farm. Hay bales, lanterns and a sellout crowd of livestock. The cows have opinions on the forecheck.
• The Zoo · The big enclosure. This time you are the exhibit. The giraffes sit at the back so nobody else has to look around them.
• China · The lantern hall. Red lacquer columns, gold eaves and a ceiling full of lanterns. Possibly too nice a room for a hip check.
• Mt Rushmore · Under the mountain. Outdoor ice under a carved mountain. Four stone faces, stylized, watching the power play without blinking.
• Roman Colosseum · The arena floor. Sun, stone arches and a crowd in togas. Thumbs up for goals. No lions on the schedule.
• Russia · The big square. A snowy plaza at night with onion domes on the skyline. Every single fan brought a fur hat.
• Germany · The castle courtyard. Timber-framed houses, bunting and a castle tower. The ice is resurfaced on schedule. Exactly on schedule.
• Norway · A frozen fjord. Cliffs on both sides, northern lights above and a longship parked for the night. Knitwear is not optional.
• Canada · A pond in the Rockies. Pines, a coffee hut, toques everywhere and a Mountie keeping an eye on the boards.

What changes and what doesn't

The rink is the same size everywhere, with the same boards, glass, nets and physics. A slap shot on the Moon goes exactly as fast as one at home, and a hip check into the glass at the Colosseum breaks it the same way. What changes is everything past the glass: the sky, the light, the stands, the board ads and who is sitting in them. Astronauts, penguins, hard hats, aliens, cows, giraffes, togas, fur hats, lederhosen, knitwear and toques, depending where you are.

None of it is a download. The arenas are built in code when the game starts, like Brudvig Arena itself, so picking one costs a second at most and the game runs as smoothly as it does at home, on phones too.

How to pick an arena

1. On the main menu, tap Choose teams.
2. Under the two teams, tap the Arena button and pick a card.
3. Tap Face off. The next quick game against the computer is played there too, until you pick another.

Playing a friend online or on a TV: the host picks the arena in the lobby with the ◀ ▶ arrows (on a TV, the first player in picks), and everyone in the game sees the same one. How online games work.

Why the Challenge Cup stays home

Every Challenge Cup game is played in Brudvig Arena, from the Round of 32 to the Championship. It's a tournament. The mini games stay home as well. The other arenas are for everything else: a quick game, a friend, a game night on the TV.
