Braemar is home to the Edina High School boys' (14-time state champions), and girls' (5-time state champions) hockey teams, as well as a number of figure skating and City of Edina hockey leagues.
The West rink seats the largest number of people and is used for Varsity games.
The West rink of Braemar Arena received a major $3.6 million renovation following the 2011-2012 Minnesota State High School League season.
The renovation included the addition of permanent girls' and boys' JV and Varsity locker rooms, a Velocity Hockey training center, and a sporting goods store.
The $3.2 million plan which was cleverly named "The Hornet's Nest" received 25% of its funding from private donations.
