Robert Guertin Centre

Robert Guertin Centre, building in Quebec, Canada

The Robert Guertin Centre was a multi-purpose arena on rue Carillon in the Hull sector of Gatineau, Quebec. Built in 1957, it held 4,000 people, with 3,196 seated after renovations required by the fire service. The Ottawa-Hull Canadiens hosted the 1958 Memorial Cup there, and the Gatineau Olympiques won the 1997 Memorial Cup on its ice. It was demolished in 2024.

Built in 1957 as the Hull Arena, it was renamed for Robert Guertin, an alderman who served Hull from 1951 to 1964. The Ottawa-Hull Canadiens played there from 1957 to 1961 and won the 1958 Memorial Cup, defeating the Regina Pats four games to two. QMJHL hockey arrived in 1973 with the Hull Festivals, renamed Hull Olympiques in 1976 and Gatineau Olympiques in 2003; the team won the 1997 Memorial Cup on home ice. The arena was demolished in 2024.

The arena was renamed to honour Robert Guertin, a city councillor who served Hull from 1951 to 1964. Each January it hosted the Kiwanis Club's international midget hockey tournament, and since 2010 it held the Salon de la formation professionnelle et technique in November, showing regional schoolchildren technical programmes. The rink was sometimes used for ringette, as lines for that sport were painted on the ice.

The arena stood on rue Carillon in the Hull sector of Gatineau; the land was given to the city in 1948 by François Bilodeau on condition it keep a recreational use. The site was to be redeveloped with 700 to 800 housing units, and in May 2011 the city agreed with Bilodeau's family to drop that servitude for $220,000 and install a plaque in his memory. The building was demolished in 2024.
