The CN Sports Complex (also known as Complexe Sportif CN in French) is a cool place for sports in Brossard, Quebec, Canada. It used to be called the Bell Sports Complex. This big building is mostly used as the official practice home for the famous Montreal Canadiens hockey team!

It's located near a major highway and a big shopping area called Quartier Dix30. The complex first opened its doors on December 12, 2008. Inside, you'll find two ice hockey rinks and a large indoor soccer field. On August 15, 2023, the company Canadian National Railway bought the rights to name the complex, giving it its current name.

Home of the Canadiens

The main reason the CN Sports Complex is so important is because it's where the Montreal Canadiens practice. This National Hockey League (NHL) team uses the facility to train and get ready for their games. Imagine seeing your favorite hockey stars practicing their shots and plays!

Training Like a Pro

Having a dedicated practice facility like this is super important for a professional sports team. It means the players have a special place to work on their skills. They can practice new strategies and stay in top shape. The two ice rinks are perfect for intense hockey drills.

More Than Just Hockey

Even though hockey is a big deal here, the CN Sports Complex also has an indoor soccer field. This means it's a versatile place for different kinds of athletes. It helps keep the community active and provides space for various sports.
