Coquitlam Sports Centre, Sports complex in Coquitlam, Canada
Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex is a 190,000-square-foot recreation complex in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Its arena side holds three rinks: Arena 1 seats 2,200 spectators on a 200 by 80 foot surface, while Arenas 2 and 3 use 200 by 85 foot NHL-standard ice that converts to dry floor. The pool side has a 25-metre main pool, a 20-metre warm lap pool, a leisure pool with lazy river and wheelchair ramp, 1- and 3-metre diving boards, hot tub, sauna, steam room and fitness room.
The old Coquitlam Sports Centre was expanded and renovated in 2010 at a cost of $62 million. The work extended the main arena's ice surface to the NHL standard length of 200 feet, replaced the recreational arena and curling rink, and added new restrooms, concession areas, dressing rooms and administration areas. The building was constructed to LEED Silver Standard.
The arena hosts the Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League and two Coquitlam Adanacs lacrosse teams, one in the Western Lacrosse Association and one in the BC Junior A Lacrosse League. The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame is housed inside the complex, and the three arenas host hockey, lacrosse, ringette and figure skating tournaments at national level.
