Saint-Hyacinthe's 1937 arena on the exhibition grounds
The Stade L.-P.-Gaucher was built in 1937 and is the largest arena in the Saint-Hyacinthe region, with a capacity of 2,048. It stands at the heart of the grounds of the Exposition agricole de Saint-Hyacinthe, and during the late-July fair it becomes a ring for livestock judging and horse parades.
The building keeps an old-arena look. Sculptures of hockey players are set into its front, the ceiling is wood and metal, and the stands, stairs and benches are all wooden, the benches steeper than in newer arenas.
The QMJHL's Saint-Hyacinthe Laser played here from 1989 to 1996, and the arena hosted the opening and closing of the 2005 Quebec Winter Games along with several of their sports. The film Les Boys was shot here in April 1997.
