| 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.
