Hartwall Arena from inside during an ice hockey game
Hartwall Arena's main arena, with an ice surface measuring 60 m x 30 m, was used for all competitions and several practice sessions. The rest of the practice sessions took place at Hartwall Arena's practice rink (58 m x 28 m) and Pirkkola ice rink (for pairs, 60 m x 30 m). Hartwall Arena's main rink and practice rink facilities are in the same venue. Pirkkola practice rink is about four kilometres from Hartwall Arena.[2]
Participants were required to have attained minimum technical element scores at an earlier senior international competition. The scores had to be obtained at least 21 days before the first official practice day of the championships.
