Until 1972, when the rink was covered by a roof resting on a laminated steel tray frame, the ice was directly subjected to natural weather.

5 years later, the current building was built, including dressing rooms and a bar upstairs.

The project involves extending the existing ice rink and the creation of a complex of trails.

The Patinoire Brown-Ferrand will be redesigned and enlarged, with the capacity increased to 2000 instead of 1800 seats, with spectators sitting all around the ice.

The new arena design features 5 luxury suites, 7 locker rooms, a public skating rink, gym, and a cafeteria/bar.
