It looks like this might be a picture of the Josef Kotas ice rink in Ostrava, Czechoslovakia. It was built in 1947 and in 1955 it became the first roofed ice hockey stadium in Czechoslovakia. Between 1947 and 1989 it was the home ice for the hockey team HC Vítkovice. In 2004 the stadium was demolished.
