Originally constructed to house a hockey rink in 1913, the Colosseum also had removeable wooden floors for roller-skating and housed dances and conventions. After serving a dual purpose for decades as the armory for Calumet’s National Guard, today the Colosseum is home to the Calumet Hockey Association and the Calumet Copper Kings. It is considered the oldest purpose-built hockey rink in the United States.
