Štvanice Winter Stadium, designed in 1932 by functionalist architect Josef Fuchs, was the first arena in Czechoslovakia with an artificial ice surface. It hosted the country’s first-ever ice hockey world championship win in 1947, as well as the first televised hockey game in 1955.
The first game ever played at the Štvanice Winter Stadium was on 17 January 1931, when LTC Praha faced Canada’s Manitoba University Graduates.
