Stadium Information
Place Bell is a modern indoor arena located in Laval, Quebec, and one of the newest major sports venues in Canada. Opened in 2017, the arena was designed as a flexible, multi-purpose facility capable of hosting professional ice hockey, basketball, concerts and large cultural events.
Its compact bowl and steep seating tiers place spectators close to the playing surface, creating strong sightlines and an energetic atmosphere despite its mid-sized scale. With a hockey capacity of around ten thousand, Place Bell balances intimacy with modern amenities.
The arena is best known as the home of the Laval Rocket, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens. Game nights generate a lively but family-friendly atmosphere, with crowd noise building quickly due to the enclosed design. Facilities are contemporary and well laid out, with wide concourses, modern concessions and clear circulation that support smooth crowd movement. The venue has also hosted international sporting events and major touring concerts.
Place Bell is directly connected to the Montreal Metro via Montmorency station, making public transport the most convenient option for visitors. Parking is available in structured garages integrated into the surrounding development. Accessibility features include step-free access throughout, lifts, wheelchair seating platforms, adapted toilets and assistance services. Situated within a broader urban regeneration area, Place Bell represents modern design, accessibility and Laval’s growing role in Quebec’s sporting landscape.
