Colisée Financière Sun Life

Best seats

This 1966 barn (about 3,900 seats plus standing room, per the city) has one of the steepest seating bowls in junior hockey, so there's hardly a bad seat. The east side gives the centre-ice view.

Parking

The Colisée has its own large lot beside the building, next to a park; no current official parking rates are published.

Getting there

The arena is at 111, 2e Rue Ouest, just south of downtown Rimouski, between Route 132 and Autoroute 20. In a city this size it's an easy drive from anywhere.

Bar scene

The quiet residential street has little nearby, so the action is inside: the Club Bud hosts a pre-game with drinks and food two hours before every home game.

Insider tips

• Concourses are very narrow, so grab food before intermission.
• The low wooden-truss roof makes it one of the loudest rinks in the league, famous for its goal horn.
• Players walk through the concourse moat to the ice, so watch for rope lines.
• Groups can book a Terrasse festive: a reserved area for 16 with pizzas, popcorn and a keg of beer.
