Its kinda sad to see the historical buildings stop getting used. So many memories in them.

Great pictures of the arenas, i love seeing that stuff. :thumbsup:

The Forum was a place I never had a chance to see a game.
I'll always be heavy hearted about that.

I did go a few times to see a movie there in the past few years though, and I don't know if you guys are superstitious at all, but I got a really weird feeling being in there and looking up to still see the old rafters and stand on the center ice spot they kept.

For the record...Montreal is a beautiful place and Quebec in general is amazing...

I just love the Montreal Canadiens, all the history and the heritage of the game in Montreal.
Being a beer league goalie, I am always inspired to play all winter because of my love of the Habs.

Here is the only way walking inside the forum today that you could tell the hockey was once played here. they kept the center ice logos and a small section of seats.

They ruined the forum now they shouldve kept so you could at least honour the tradition of such a great and amazing place and play hockey in it. If I was a dead spirit of a hockey player i would haunt all the old buildings that they ruined just to make money its embarassing what people will do for cash. But I want a seat too
