The Storhamar Dragons play in the Hamar Olympic Amphitheater (also known as Northern Lights Hall) which was initially built to house figure skating and short track speed skating for the 1994 Winter Olympics at Lillehammer.
Travis was told that that arena is the site where Nancy Kerrigan was attacked by Tonya Harding's hired thug, but that is untrue. She was actually attacked in Detroit during the US Figure Skating Championships earlier in 1994. Nancy Kerrigan did win the silver medal in the 1994 Winter Olympics at the Hamar Olympic Amphitheater, while Tonya Harding ended up in 8th place.
This ends today's history lesson.
