HC Ambrì-Piotta (NL) (2021-present)

The arena will serve as the home for HC Ambrì-Piotta of the National League (NL) and will seat up to 7,000 spectators for hockey games.

Background

HC Ambrì-Piotta held the groundbreaking ceremony in December 2018 and construction officially began in April 2019, 60 years after the former Valascia opened. Construction for the arena had been postponed for two consecutive years as plans were to start in early 2017. The SIHF had been rushing Ambri-Piotta to begin building a new arena to let them compete in the National League as the old arena no longer met security regulations and was located in a potential avalanche path.[2]

Naming

As of now, no sponsorship deal for naming rights has been signed.

gollark: (because it's bad, and won't do that automatically)
gollark: (technically it also has some code to force it to respond to an instant-lose/instant-win situation)
gollark: It is funny that people keep losing to a fairly trivial piece of code which just decides how good a move is by playing 100 *entirely random games* starting from it and seeing how many it wins.
gollark: Okay, I am now decreasing my estimate of your programming competence.
gollark: I don't know if there's a general strategy. The main thing to exploit is that the AI can't really respond to two threats at once.
