The Moncton Coliseum (French - Colisée de Moncton) is a sports arena/trade show facility located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The Coliseum's capacity is 7,200 (6,554 seated) for hockey. The adjoining Moncton Agrena complex constitutes the largest trade show facility in Atlantic Canada.
It is currently home to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Moncton Wildcats. It was the former home of the American Hockey League's New Brunswick Hawks (Chicago Blackhawks farm team, 1978-82), Alpines (Edmonton Oilers, 1982-84), Moncton Golden Flames (Calgary Flames, 1984-87) and Moncton Hawks (Winnipeg Jets, 1987-94).
The arena has hosted several large events such as the 2006 Memorial Cup, the CIS University Cup in 2007 and 2008 and the 2009 Ford World Men's Curling Championship. NHL pre-season hockey games are routinely held at the facility every year. The New York Islanders pre-season hockey camp is at the facility. The Coliseum has hosted many concerts over the years, including Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Metallica to name a few. Elton John performed to a sold out crowd at the Coliseum in 2008.
