The Moncton Coliseum (French: Colisée de Moncton) is a multi-purpose facility, located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The capacity is 7,200 (6,554 seated), for hockey.
The adjoining Moncton Agrena complex constitutes the largest trade show facility in Atlantic Canada.
It is currently home to the QMJHL's Moncton Wildcats and the National Basketball League of Canada's Moncton Miracles.[2]
It was the former home of the AHL's New Brunswick Hawks (Chicago Blackhawks farm team, 1978–82), Alpines (Edmonton Oilers, 1982–84), Moncton Golden Flames (Calgary Flames, 1984–87) & Moncton Hawks (Winnipeg Jets, 1987–94).
The arena has hosted several large events, including the 2006 Memorial Cup, the CIS University Cup in 2007 and 2008 and the 2009 Ford World Men's Curling Championship. NHL pre-season hockey games are routinely held at the facility every year. The New York Islanders pre-season hockey camp is at the facility.
The arena has hosted concerts by many famous artists, spanning many different genres.
