Le Nouveau Colisée is a multi-purpose arena currently under construction in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada and set to open in early 2021. The arena will replace the aging Colisée de Trois-Rivières and will seat 4,390 fans. Beginning in the fall of 2021, it will host Trois-Rivières' professional hockey team in the ECHL.[1][2]

History

In the late 2010s, the city of Trois-Rivières, Quebec, began construction on new arena to replace the Colisée de Trois-Rivières, a skating rink that first opened in 1938 and was primarily acting as the home of the UQTR Patriotes hockey teams. The new arena cost $60million to construct with a planned opening of late 2020, but had no announced permanent tenants scheduled after UQTR declined the initial lease.[3] Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the planned opening was moved back to early 2021 while the city was in discussions with adding an ECHL expansion team expected to be affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens.[4] In January 2021, the team was approved to begin play for the 2021–22 season.[5]
