The ice hockey arena Hovet in Stockholm will not be demolished as planned in 2028–2029.

Instead, the sports committee in Stockholm city will revoke the decision from 2016 to scrap the arena and make a new decision. It may be that the arena from 1953 is preserved or a decision is made to build a new ice hockey arena on the site.

I'm really happy. It feels really big and great that Hovet will remain longer than planned, says Maria-Elsa Salvo (S), chairman of the sports committee, to Aftonbladet.

In Hovet, Djurgården (SHL) and AIK (hockeyallsvenskan) play their matches.
