context_section_description: February 2010, the Melbourne Ice moved into the newly completed $58m Melbourne Icehouse (Known as the O’Brien Icehouse for sponsorship reasons), located in the Docklands precinct of Melbourne. The Ice have played all their home matches from the 2010 AIHL season onwards at the Icehouse and they share the facility with local rivals, the Melbourne Mustangs. The Icehouse is the only twin ice-sheet facility in Australia. The hockey rink within the facility is named the Henke Rink, in honour of Geoffrey Henke AO. The Icehouse has an Olympic sized ice surface, café, bar, specialist winter sports gym, pro shop, corporate boxes and seating for 1,000 spectators as well as room for additional 500 standing attendance on match days.
  Prior to 2010, for eight years, the Ice were based in Oakleigh South, Monash in the wider Melbourne metropolitan area. Their home venue was the 300 capacity Olympic Ice Skating Centre (OISC), noted at the time for being the smallest rink in the league, with its width two-thirds that of a regulation Olympic-sized rink.
