Prince George Coliseum, Indoor sports arena in Prince George, Canada.
Kopar Memorial Arena is an indoor arena on Dominion Street beside the Prince George Civic Centre, built in 1958 and originally called the Prince George Coliseum. It seats 2,112 including standing room and is home to the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League. The Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League played here briefly while the CN Centre was under construction.
Built in 1958 as the Prince George Coliseum, the arena on Dominion Street beside the Prince George Civic Centre was the city's main hockey venue and briefly hosted the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League while the CN Centre was under construction. A naming agreement with Rolling Mix Concreate ran from 2016 until the contract ended on December 31, 2020, though the pandemic delayed the change; the name reverted to Prince George Coliseum after the Spruce Kings' second-round playoff exit. From the 2022-2023 BCHL season, Kopar Administration Ltd. holds the naming rights for four seasons.
The arena's name has changed with its sponsors: it was the Rolling Mix Concrete Arena from 2016 until the contract lapsed at the end of 2020, and became Kopar Memorial Arena in 2022 under a four-season deal with Kopar Administration Ltd. Fans still call it the Prince George Coliseum, its original 1958 name.
The arena sits on Dominion Street directly beside the Prince George Civic Centre, so the two are reached from the same downtown block. Seating totals 2,112 including standing room, and the building dates from 1958, so expect a compact older rink rather than a large modern concourse.
The naming contract with Rolling Mix Concreate ended on 31 December 2020, yet the City of Prince George kept the sponsor name until the pandemic delayed changes; it reverted to Prince George Coliseum only after the Spruce Kings' second-round playoff exit. Kopar Administration Ltd. then took the rights for four seasons from 2022-2023.
