Closed/Reconfigured rinks[ edit ] ^ After the Olympics the rink is to be converted into a trade and exhibition center. ^ Reconfigured into a community centre including NHL/short track sized arena, track and fitness area. Pre-construction documents indicated that the full length oval would be covered by rubber mats to allow it to host future long track competitions. However, its status is currently unknown.
