Angel of the Winds Arena
Angel of the Winds Arena (originally known as Everett Events Center) is a multi-purpose sports arena complex in Everett, Washington, United States, designed and developed by the Everett Public Facilities District. It opened in October 2003 and primarily serves as the home of the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. The arena has 8,149 seats in its ice hockey configuration and 10,000 for concerts and other events. The naming rights to the venue were sold to Comcast in 2007 and subsequently to Angel of the Winds Casino Resort in 2017. The venue has hosted a variety of concerts and other performances, including the Ringling Brothers Circus, Disney on Ice, the Harlem Globetrotters, and Sesame Street Live.
The venue also hosted 2008 Skate America, a three-day ice-skating championship featuring world-class skaters. The events were both nationally and internationally televised on NBC. It was the first event of six in the 2008-2009 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, a senior-level international invitational competition. This was Skate America's largest attendance ever recorded in its history.
Construction on the arena began in April 2002 after the demolition of two city blocks in downtown Everett, which included several historic buildings along Hewitt Avenue from the early 20th century. The Everett Historical Commission refused to grant waivers for the demolition, but were overruled by the Everett City Council. The arena, named the Everett Events Center, opened to the public on September 27, 2003, for a preview event attended by approximately 4,000 people. It cost $71.5 million to construct.
The Everett Events Center hosted its first Western Hockey League game on October 4, 2003, between the Everett Silvertips and Prince George Cougars. The new arena booked several events that had traditionally used the Tacoma Dome, including Disney on Ice and the Harlem Globetrotters.
In 2016, the arena served as the host for the 2016 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships. It also hosted WWE's flagship TV show Monday Night Raw on February 17, 2020, and December 2, 2024. It also hosted All Elite Wrestling's flagship TV show Dynamite on May 15, 2024.
Angel of the Winds Arena is the home of the Everett Silvertips, a Western Hockey League franchise. In their first season (2003–04), the Everett Silvertips won the WHL Western Conference Championship.
The arena also hosted a preseason games between National Hockey League (NHL) teams several times, beginning in September 2009 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Phoenix Coyotes. The game—the first between NHL teams in the region since 1997—was played in front of a sellout crowd of 7,281 spectators. The Seattle Kraken played a preseason game at Angel of the Winds Arena on October 1, 2021. Played as part of a regional tour prior to the inaugural season, the Kraken won 2–1 in overtime against the Edmonton Oilers.
The first American Hockey League regular season game to be played in Everett was between Kraken affiliates Coachella Valley Firebirds and the Calgary Wranglers on October 28, 2022.
