Lahden jäähalli ('Lahti's ice hall'), also known as Wemasto Areena for sponsorship reasons, is an indoor ice sports arena in Lahti, Finland. It is primarily used for ice hockey and is the home arena of Lahden Pelicans who play in the Liiga. The arena is part of the Lahden urheilukeskus ('Lahti Sports Center'), a concentrated area of sports venues highlighted by Lahti Stadium, the Salpausselä ski jumps, and Wemasto Areena. Wemasto Areena has a total capacity of 4,403 people and features sixteen suites and a 200-seat restaurant with a view of the rink, called Ravintola Lämäri.

In 2005, a ten-year sponsorship agreement was signed between the Pelicans, the arena ownership group (Lahden Jäähalli Oy), and Lahti-based furniture company Isku. The venue was dubbed Isku Areena, becoming the fourth SM-liiga arena to gain sponsorship. A renovation in the summer of 2007 reduced the venue's capacity from 5,098 to 4,910. In the summer of 2009, a media cube was added to the hall. In the spring of 2010, a new hall renovation was carried out, with which Isku Areena got about 500-600 new spectator seats and six suites. In addition, changes were also made to the ice rink externally, and among other things, the players' changing rooms were renovated and a new lobby was built in the hall. In the fall of 2017, a statue of Erkki Laine was unveiled next to the arena. It was the first outdoor sculpture of a specific ice hockey player to be erected in Finland and was modeled in the tradition of some NHL teams, notably the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, which feature similar statues outside of their home arenas. In the spring of 2022, the D2 grandstand turned into a standing grandstand that can hold more than 1,000 people, where Pelicans supporters will also be positioned. The former Fanikatsomo was transformed into seats offering excellent visibility, and the away
