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 hosted the 2006 Memorial Cup and the University Cup in 2007 and will host this event again in 2008. 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.
