Ritarihalli, Indoor ice rink in Rinkelinmäki, Hämeenlinna, Finland.
Ritarihalli is an indoor ice rink in Hämeenlinna featuring a standard playing surface of 60 by 30 meters with seating for about 5,360 spectators. The facility includes dedicated areas for merchandise sales and food service alongside its main ice arena.
The facility began as an artificial skating rink in 1963 and underwent significant renovation in 1979 under architect Heikki Aitola to become a municipal sports arena. This transformation allowed it to host competitive ice hockey matches.
The venue serves as home to the HPK Hämeenlinna ice hockey team and draws fans who gather for local league matches that shape the city's sports culture. It remains a gathering place where supporters connect through their shared passion for the sport.
The venue is located at Poltinahontie 9 B with convenient parking and facilities for visitors. It helps to check opening times for public skating sessions in advance, as these can vary depending on the season and scheduled events.
A dual-track training facility was completed in 2002 allowing simultaneous practice and competition events to take place. This makes it one of the few places in Finland where multiple groups can train independently on separate ice surfaces.
