Lower Level Practice Room.

The Nymore Arena is a roughly 2,000-seat hockey rink in Bemidji, Minnesota. It was home to the Bemidji High School hockey team from 1973 to 2000, when they moved to the newly constructed Bemidji Community Arena. The rink is now home to the Bemidji Youth Hockey Association teams, and was also home to notable ice hockey players like Bill Howe, Gary Sargent, George Pelawa, and Matt DeMarchi.

Inside of the building, there is an upstairs seating area that has a capacity of 200. It has a concession stand, and a panoramic view of the ice below. On the lower level of the building, it seats 1,800 persons. In the lower level, there are 6 locker rooms, four sets of heated wooden bleachers, and 2 shooting rooms.

The rink is known to be cold in the winter, as the poor insulation and direct outdoor cooling also contributes to the lower temperatures compared to other rinks. It was recently renovated before the 2024-25 hockey season to have brand new boards, wood lining around the perimeter of the boards for additional spectating, and extra floor padding for skates.
