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.{{cite web |publisher=quebecbulldogs.com |url=http://quebecbulldogs.com/2012/02/21/nouvel-amphitheatre-et-emplacement-controverse-un-vieux-debat/ |title=New amphitheater and controversial location: an old debate |date=February 21, 2012 |language=fr |access-date=December 24, 2013}}
