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.[2]
The arena was the original home to the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament founded in 1960 by Gérard Bolduc, Paul Dumont and others.[3]
gollark: <@350812024055398401> Good question. I can't really test that very easily, since that's only done on the actual school-owned computers (personal devices you bring in and connect to their wifi network seem to have less restricted outbound access, though I'm sure they're logging as much as possible).
gollark: My school *does* MITM every connection made on the inschool computers! Yay!
gollark: Try Docker Compose next, it's very cool.
gollark: "Anyone suggesting security fixes is clearly a hacker and must be fired." - hopefully not.
gollark: Ah, a windows thing.
