Ice Arena DS Kristall in Tobolsk — online webcam
Sports Palace "Kristall" — Tobolsk's first indoor ice complex
Tobolsk is one of the oldest cities in Siberia, founded back in 1587, and for a long time it managed without its own indoor ice arena. Hockey and mass ice skating were only available at seasonal outdoor rinks in the city's neighborhoods. The situation changed in 2011, when the Sports Palace "Kristall" opened in Tobolsk — the city's first indoor ice complex with professional-grade ice.
Today, DS "Kristall" is a multi-purpose sports facility where hockey and figure skating practices, mass skating sessions, and competitions of various levels take place. The online webcam allows you to watch what's happening at the arena in real time from anywhere in the world.
Construction and opening history
The construction of the ice palace was announced in April 2011 by the governor of Tyumen Oblast Vladimir Yakushev as part of a large-scale program to develop the region's sports infrastructure. The project was completed in the shortest possible time, and that same year the doors of the new sports palace opened to Tobolsk residents.
The complex's address: Tyumen Oblast, Tobolsk, Semyon Remezov Street, 145. The arena is located in the central part of the city, making it convenient to visit for both local residents and guests of Tobolsk.
Sports school and training process
DS "Kristall" is home to MAU DO SSH No. 1 — a supplementary education sports school specializing in hockey and figure skating. Regular training sessions for young athletes take place here, and sections for children of different ages operate at the facility.
The complex is part of the hockey system of Tyumen Oblast. The hockey club "Rubin", founded in the fall of 1959 and competing since 2010 in the Supreme Hockey League, uses the region's infrastructure to train young players. The club is the holder of the Bratina — the honorary trophy of the SHL.
Architecture and infrastructure of the complex
The Sports Palace "Kristall" is not just an ice arena. The complex features:
