List of World Hockey Association arenas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of World Hockey Association (WHA) arenas.

34 total venues hosted a regular season game in the league from 1972 to 1979. Just three venues hosted 200 games over the seven WHA seasons: Winnipeg Arena, which hosted 279, Colisée de Québec, which hosted 278, and Edmonton Coliseum, which hosted 201.[1] The Randhurst Twin Ice Arena hosted playoff games in the 1974 WHA playoffs for the Chicago Cougars due to scheduling conflicts but never hosted a regular season game.
