Centre intercommunal de glace de Malley (abbreviation CIG de Malley or CIGM) was an indoor arena located in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was primarily used for ice hockey, and was the home arena of the HC Lausanne from 1984 to 2017. It was demolished in April 2017 to be replaced by the Vaudoise Aréna which opened in September 2019. A temporary ice rink, Malley 2.0, was opened during the interim and is one of the venues for the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.

Following the announcement that a new ice rink was to be built, the main venue was demolished. Until the opening of the new ice stadium, the hockey club held its training sessions and home games in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons at the temporary 6,700-capacity ice rink called "Malley 2.0", which was built in seven months. The construction is 96 meters long, 66 meters wide, 17 meters high and cost CHF 10.6 million.{{Cite web|url=https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/sport/grosse-traeume-zerbrochene-beziehungen/story/28005123|title=Grosse Träume, zerbrochene Beziehungen|first=Philipp|last=Muschg|date=9 June 2017|via=www.tagesanzeiger.ch}} Constructed by the Nussli Group, it is the largest temporary ice hockey arena in the world.{{cite web| url = https://www.nussli.com/de/news-pr-und-medien/news-und-medienmitteilungen/nuessli-baut-die-groesste-temporaere-eishockey-arena-der-welt/ | title = NUSSLI builds World's largest temporary ice hockey arena | publisher = nussli.com | date = 2017-09-19 | accessdate = 2017-09-19 | language = German}}
