In this episode of Hockey Barn Tours, we explore the Historic Eagle River Sports Arena simply known as The Dome

From its bold construction in 1933 and its revolutionary lamella roof design, to the community members who signed their names, invested their time, and showed up when the building’s future was on the line.

But this isn’t just a story about the past.
Today, The Dome is still alive — hosting youth hockey, community events, and standing proudly as both a historic landmark and a working rink.

Its survival is proof that when people care enough, places don’t just survive… they endure.

This is the story of The Dome.

And the people who never stopped answering the call.

Next Episode — "The Dome" presented by Shift4 Twin Ports Coming Soon!

Built in 1933, the Eagle River Sports Arena — known simply as The Dome — became the first indoor hockey arena in the State of Wisconsin.

What immediately draws your attention is the roof. A rare wooden lamella truss dome, its interlocking timber design spans the ice without interior supports — an ambitious and forward-thinking feat of engineering for its time.

It became the foundation of Wisconsin hockey.

The Hockey Capital of the State.

Home of the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame.

A building that has watched generations take the ice beneath the same roof.

This is The Dome.

Iron & Ice - The Eveleth Hippodrome

Built in 1922, shaped by the spirit of the Iron Range, and home to a hockey culture that helped define an entire state. This isn’t just a rink—it's a landmark of pride, grit, and tradition. A place where kids first laced up skates that carried them into futures nobody saw coming. A place where families packed the stands through blizzards, strikes, and changing times because hockey mattered that much.

The Hippodrome is the kind of arena that reminds you why this sport brings people together.
It’s the kind of place that earned its stories—every beam, every scar in the wood, every echo under its roof.

We’re honored to bring its story to life.

This one’s special.
This one’s personal.
This one is for the Iron Range.
