2. Bell Center, home of the Montreal Canadiens

Montreal itself is one of the biggest hockey hubs in the entire world. Going to a game at Bell Center, home of the Canadiens is an experience like no other.

Heck, going to any event period in this place is a must, as it has hosted concerts ranging from Slipknot to Alanis Morissette in recent years as well as an upcoming WWE Friday Night Smackdown in February of 2023.

The atmosphere here is intense, for better or for worse. Home of some of the most passionate fans in the world, Bell Center is not always full of cheers. When fans of the home team determine a player’s performance is not up to their standards, the place is not immune to being filled with boos.

However, this energy is equally, if not more, strong when the club is playing good hockey and in contention, like they are in most years.

Point blank, the Habs are the best team in NHL history and it isn’t particularly close. They have a whopping 24 Stanley Cups to their name with the Maple Leafs (13) second and the Red Wings (11) third. Going to this iconic location will guarantee that you will be witnessing one of the most legendary franchises in North American sports.

Commonly referred to as the “cathedral of hockey history” and “home of the best hot dogs in the sport“, you’re seriously missing out if you never attend a hockey game in this arena.
