Is there a Latvian fan here, who could tell me how many Latvian hockey rinks there are actually?
On The IIHF website there they have updated the number from 19 indoor arenas to 24 since their last update in 2021. Back then they raised it from 16 to 19. Since 2012 when I started to keep a record of this they have had a listing of 17, 16, 17, 17, 19, 16, 16, 16, 19, 19 and now 24.
It seems wrong to me that five new rinks apparently have been built over the past couple of years, but I bet someone on here might know exactly what is right?
How many are there, and how many of them are actually being used for developing hockey players?
By the way: Lithuania's number has also been raised, but "only" from 7 to 9. That seems more plausible, since Dainius Zubrus has been working hard as a president to get more rinks.
