In any arena that's used for hockey plus anything else, the ice will be on the bottom. For any event other than a hockey game, they just put whatever surface they need on top of the ice. So it's just like crispymon said ... when there's a basketball game on, the floor sits on top of the ice. They just take up the floor to change from basketball to hockey, and lay the floor back down again for the next basketball game.

I think they melt the ice and replace it with basketball floor bceause that's how you get the lines on the ice.
