Inside the Bell Centre during a Canadiens game

The Bell Centre (French: Centre Bell) is a sports arena in Montreal, Quebec. The arena opened on March 16, 1996, and is the current home to the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). The arena was originally known as Molson Centre (French: Centre Molson) from 1996 to 2002. Bell Canada currently has naming rights for the arena.

The arena has also held several WWE events, which includes the Survivor Series in 1997, where the infamous Montreal Screwjob between Bret Hart, Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels took place, as well as other pay-per-views including No Way Out in 2003 and Breaking Point.
