About the place

Montreal Arena introduced dedicated indoor ice hockey architecture to Westmount.

Also recorded under the name Westmount Arena, the indoor structure stood at the intersection of St. Catherine Street and Wood Avenue in Westmount. Planners conceived the building expressly for ice hockey, making it the pioneer of purpose-built arenas for the discipline. This dedicated layout distinguished the site from standard civic halls and created an enduring blueprint for local winter sports infrastructure.

Both community teams and elite organizations depended on this dedicated indoor ice for their regular schedules and major competitions.
