John S. Glas Fieldhouse is a 2,399-seat hockey arena in Bemidji, Minnesota. It is home to the Bemidji State University Beavers men's and women's ice hockey teams. (The men's team plays in College Hockey America; the women's team plays in the WCHA.) The building, a part of a larger fieldhouse which contains the BSU Gymnasium and other athletic facilities, opened on November 17, 1967 and was dedicated on February 10, 1968. On October 1, 1975, the building was renamed in honor of John S. Glas, the acting president of the university at the time of the building of the arena. The Beaver ice hockey teams are due to move into the Bemidji Regional Events Center in 2010.
