Île Lacroix (English: Lacroix Island) is an ice hockey arena in Rouen, France, named for the island it sits on. It is a part of the Centre Sportif Guy Boissière (English: Guy Boissière Sport Center), formerly known as the Centre Sportif du Docteur Duchêne (English: Dr. Duchêne Sport Center). It is the home arena of the Dragons de Rouen of the Ligue Magnus.
The Île Lacroix features two ice rinks—an Olympic-sized rink with over 2700 spectator seats around it, and a smaller, public rink for recreational skating.
The rinks were renovated in 2010, to change the ice-cooling systems over from Freon to R507, in accordance with EU standards, at a cost of 2,350,000 Euros.[1]
