From Hockey Rink to Basketball Court in a Flash

March 19, 2026

Hey everyone! So, you know how sometimes you're watching a game, and then the next night the same arena is set up for a totally different sport? I always kind of wondered what that involved.

Well, I stumbled across this super cool time-lapse of Toronto's Scotiabank Arena (formerly the ACC) going from an NHL hockey rink to an NBA basketball court in literally minutes. It's wild to see how much work and coordination goes into making that happen so quickly. Those crews are seriously impressive!

It's just a quick watch, but it really gives you an appreciation for all the behind-the-scenes magic that makes our favorite games possible. Check it out!
