Venues

Traditionally, league games were played at outdoor rinks.[3] Since 2021, with the opening of Mongolia's first-ever indoor arena (AIC Steppe Arena), some league games are played indoors while others are played at outdoor rinks in various cities, such as Baganuur, Darkhan, and Erdenet. Play-offs and other important games are played indoors. Other indoor venues, like the Chingeltei Arena, have opened since 2021 and now also host league games.[4] The country now has four indoor hockey venues and eighteen outdoor rinks.[5]
