How To Get There
From A-20: Exit at #130 (boul. LaFramboise) and proceed south towards town. Make a left on rue Turcot. The road will dead-end around the arena.
What's it Used For Today?
Stade L.P. Gaucher hosted the QMJHL for seven years, from 1989 to 1996. The team was the original Montreal Junior Canadiens, who finally left Montreal in 1989 after a half-century in the city. In 1996 they up and moved to the heart of Abitibi-Témiscamingue as the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, and one would assume they were having a very rough go of it if Rouyn-Noranda looked like an attractive proposition in comparison.

The Stade L.P. Gaucher is still going strong as the main arena for St-Hyacinthe. The top tenant these days is the strangely-named St-Hyacinthe Top Design of the LNAH.
