History
In 1913, after their second Stanley Cup win in the old Quebec Skating Rink, the Quebec Hockey Club proposed to build a new facility. With the support of Quebec City Council, a new arena was built in Victoria Park by a group headed by Joseph-Etienne Dussault. The 6,000 seat venue opened for its first game in December 1913.[2]
The arena was the original home to the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament founded in 1960 by Gérard Bolduc, Paul Dumont and others.[3]
