The Bolshoy Ice Dome stands inside a cluster of identical white shells along the Black Sea coast, shaped by the 2014 Winter Olympics. It opened in 2012 and remains the home of HC Sochi in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Inside, the ice is kept in condition by a refrigeration system that circulates heat-transfer fluids to maintain temperature and quality. The arena holds 12,000 spectators, a capacity that has drawn crowds for matches and concerts alike. HC Sochi plays its home fixtures here, and the venue also staged the 2015 KHL All-Star Game. During the Winter Games, the dome hosted the majority of the ice hockey tournaments, including the Men’s and Women’s Gold Medal matches. It has since seen the 2013 IIHF World U18 Championships and the 2013 Channel One Cup. The building was designed by the Russian firm SIC Mostovik (NPO Mostovik), with Andrey Ustinov leading the team of architects and engineers and Alexander Knyazev involved in the design team. The general contractor was SIC Mostovik, working with the client SC Olymptroy. It has not undergone any official sponsor-based name changes; the name “Bolshoy” — meaning “Big” or “Large” — was chosen to reflect its capacity and evoke associations with the Bolshoi Theatre.
