Verdun Auditorium

Verdun Auditorium (Auditorium de Verdun) is an arena located in the borough of Verdun, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The building opened on November 28, 1939, and holds 4,114 seats. It is the largest arena in the west end of Montreal, the complex is also home to Arena Denis Savard, a small minor-hockey rink, attached to its side. The Auditorium has hosted various Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) teams, including the Verdun Juniors, Verdun Éperviers, and Verdun Collège Français. In 1993, it hosted the Montreal Dragons for their lone season in the short-lived National Basketball League. Since 2022, it has been the home to the Montreal Alliance of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL). The Auditorium was slated to become the home arena of Les Canadiennes de Montréal in 2019; however, the CWHL folded in May of that year. The Verdun Auditorium would also be the home of the Montréal Victoire of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) for its inaugural season, before later moving to Place Bell. On January 25, 2008, the QMJHL approved the sale of the St. John's Fog Devils to Montreal businessman Farrel Miller, who relocated the team to Montreal, where it was known as the Montreal Junior Hockey Club. In Summer 2011, the team moved to Boisbriand to become the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. The auditorium also hosted a concert by Nirvana on November 2, 1993. Thi
