The 2010 tournament will mark the first time since NHL players were allowed to compete, that the Olympics will be held in a city with an NHL team. For the first time, Olympic games will be played on a narrower, NHL-sized ice rink, measuring 61×26 metres (200×85 feet), instead of the international size of 61×30 metres (200×98.5 feet). This change is expected to save $10 million (CAD) in construction costs and allow more spectators to attend games.
The games of the 2010 tournament will be held at the 7,200 seat UBC Winter Sports Centre and 18,810 seat General Motors Place, which is to be renamed Canada Hockey Place during the event because corporate sponsorship is not allowed for an Olympic venue.
