Centre Agnico Eagle, Ice hockey arena in Val-d'Or, Canada.

Centre Agnico Eagle is a multi-purpose arena in Val-d'Or, Quebec, built in 1949 and formerly called the Palais des Sports and Centre Air Creebec. It seats 2,140 of its 3,504 places, leaving room for standing spectators, and has a diagonal scoreboard added in 2008. It is home to the Val-d'Or Foreurs of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.

The arena was established in 1949 as Palais des Sports and reflects Val-d'Or's long history with ice hockey. Renovations in the 2000s modernized the facility for contemporary competition.

The arena is home to the Val-d'Or Foreurs hockey team and draws fans who follow Quebec Major Junior Hockey League matches. The venue has become a gathering place for ice hockey supporters across the region.

Seating totals 3,504 places but only 2,140 are seated, so many spectators stand on the concourses; the 300 extra seats added during the 2009 renovations are part of that seated count. The building dates from 1949, and in 2019 Le Journal de Québec ranked it among the worst arenas in Quebec, so expect older, basic facilities. Since June 2021 it has carried the name Centre Agnico Eagle.

The arena's diagonal scoreboard, added in 2008, is a feature visitors notice during games. In 2015 the building opened a walking and exercise circuit on its walkways for local residents. In 2019 Le Journal de Québec ranked it among the worst arenas in Quebec.
