Montreal Forum
The Montreal Forum was an indoor arena located in Montreal, Canada. It was home of the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens from 1924 to 1996
Located at 2313 Saint Catherine Street West, the building was historically significant as it was home to 16 Stanley Cups. It was also home to the Montreal Maroons and Montreal Roadrunners .
The Forum opened on November 29, 1924 at a total cost of $1,500,000 with an original seating capacity of 9,300. Originally it was owned by Canderel Management.
When the Canadiens left the Forum, the building was completely gutted and gradually converted into a downtown shopping mall, with a few hockey mementos scattered about. It is located next to the Atwater station of the Montreal Metro.
