Place Bell: a complex worthy of the greats!

Have you had a chance to visit Place Bell? It's a multifunctional complex worthy of the greats. The people of Laval should be proud that there's finally a facility like this in their city. I certainly am! And I have a real crush on the Place!

As you know, Place Bell is the home of the Laval Rocket, the Montreal Canadiens' training club. My father and I attended a game there and had a great time. I was impressed to see these future NHL stars skate. And what about the atmosphere? Fantastic.

As someone who's not a field hockey fanatic (well, I love it, but I'm not the kind of person who watches every game on TV), I can't wait to get back out there.

Take a look at the team's calendar, and be aware that there are various packages for families and students, among others. Well worth a look.

Go skating and watch athletes excel

It's also a great place to go skating, especially when it's -1000 degrees Celsius outside. Time slots are available for skating and free field hockey.

What I like about this place for free skating (for field hockey, I'll get back to you when I've played a game!) is the size of the rink, which is Olympic-sized. You don't get around it in three skating strokes. I also appreciate the boards with protective cushions, the lighting and watching the "minis" with skating aids.

I also believe it's an exceptional venue for training and competition for ice sports enthusiasts, such as short-track speed skating, figure skating, ringette and field hockey.

A unique meeting place

In short, Place Bell is a unique meeting place. It's a place where young and old can meet professional athletes and Olympians who will inspire them, artists who will make them dream... and friends and family who will help them have a great time.

I promise myself another visit soon. When are you planning to visit?
