Naming Rights
The arena had a brief naming agreement with Rolling Mix Concreate from 2016 to 2022. The naming contract ended on December 31, 2020, but the City of Prince George said the pandemic pushed back any major changes. The name was changed back to the Prince George Coliseum following the second round exit of the British Columbia Hockey League playoffs by the Prince George Spruce Kings. [1]
At the start of the 2022-2023 BCHL season, it was announced that the naming rights of the area were awarded to Kopar Administration Ltd. Kopar Memorial Arena will be the name of the arena for four seasons.
