Ben Boeke Ice Rink
Anchorage, Alaska 99501
100 (Rink 2)
Ben Boeke Ice Rink (often shortened to “The Ben,” "Boeke" or "BB1/BB2") is an ice hockey arena in Anchorage, Alaska that opened in 1974.[1] It is named after former Anchorage city clerk Benjamin W. Boeke, who served from 1947 to 1967, under 11 mayors and 8 city managers. The arena is owned by the Municipality of Anchorage and operated by O'Malley Ice & Sports, who operates Sullivan Arena.
In 2021, due to Sullivan Arena being used as a homeless shelter, the Anchorage Wolverines of the NAHL would use it as their temporary home with plans to move into Sullivan Arena as soon as possible.
