About
Moncton Wildcats Live
When the 2018-19 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) season kicked off, the Moncton Wildcats unveiled their brand-new $113 million home in the Avenir Centre. They set a QMJHL attendance record with a sold-out crowd of 8,800 fans in the home opener against the Saint John Sea Dogs and won the game 5-2.
Delivering on big aspirations seems to be a recurring theme for the Wildcats, who already are near the top of the league standings in their new facility. With wingers Jeremy McKenna and Jakob Pelletier leading the way along with starting goalie Francis Leclerc, Coach Darren Rumble's team is the hottest ticket on Canada's East Coast.
The Wildcats offer flex packs of 10, 20, or 36 games, starting at less than $16 a ticket. In the new arena, there also are two party suites with stellar views of the four-panel screen display above the playing rink, as well as private entrances and access to the Lounsbury Club Lounge.
Avenir Centre is a stone's throw from the Moncton rail line, and there's plenty to do in the arena's outdoor plaza, with a bandstand, another ice rink, a park, and a lounging gazebo all nearby.
Moncton Wildcats Background
Founded in 1995, the Moncton Wildcats existed as the Moncton Alpines for a single season before owner Robert Irving took over the team in 1996 and helped guide them to QMJHL prominence. Winning championships in 2006 and 2010, the Wildcats have had their share of NHL stars before they made it big, headlined by Corey Crawford, the two-time Stanley Cup champion goalie of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Count NHL All-Stars Brad Marchand and Keith Yandle as Moncton alumni, as well as Norris Trophy finalist Francois Beauchemin. Coaches Ted Nolan and John Torchetti both had stints with Moncton before heading to the NHL. When not holding Wildcats games, Avenir Centre is a multipurpose event facility hosting Cirque du Soleil and Blue Man Group, in addition to Canadian artists new and old like Metric and Bryan Adams.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 3 out of 5 entertaining but far too loud
by R. on 2019-10-22Avenir Centre - MonctonGood venue, service level high, entertaining product on the ice. But the loud noise level is a big drawback.
Rating: 4 out of 5 The Avenir Center is a great venue for sporting events
by D. on 2019-10-14Avenir Centre - MonctonThe game was a blowout for the home team but the venue is well designed for both sporting and musical events. I would say paying major league concession prices for major junior sports is somewhat frustrating.
Rating: 4 out of 5 it was a game as per normal

Rating: 4 out of 5 Great new venue
by Londoner2013 on 2018-10-20Avenir Centre (formerly known as Moncton Events Centre) - MonctonExcept for concession and elevator problems, the venue was great and the new staff tried to fix these problems as the night went on. No Tim Hortons yet. There are several handicap parking spots but you must get there early.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Price are ridiculous
by Djoe on 2018-10-03Avenir Centre (formerly known as Moncton Events Centre) - MonctonFirst, the tickets are a bit high for junior hockey. Why hiring an American company for the food service?? The are ridiculous. We are not an NHL city and not an USA city where you can jack the price!!!! Also, the quantity of food in the plate are not what are expecting. Only half of the container for a 9$ poutine!!!! Really.....unreal. very disappoint and I won't go back. 4$ for a chocolat bar, 4,50$ for water!!!! 10$ for a can of beer of 473mL.... Hahaha. Its too bad because the Widcats team will suffer at the end because there will be no fan at the games!!!
Rating: 3 out of 5 Disappointed
by CdnGuy2019 on 2018-10-03Avenir Centre (formerly known as Moncton Events Centre) - MonctonThey should have called it the "Irving Centre", not the "Avenir Centre" because inside it is plastered with most if not all of the Irving brand of companies. Also, you are constantly bombarded with ads for this, ads for that. Food, as well as the beer, is expensive. Interruptions to clean the goalie crease sponsored by, come on this is a hockey game, not an advertising game, An announcement for something sponsored by. It will be a long time before I return to see a Widlcats game.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great home opener!
by JMD9 on 2018-10-01Avenir Centre (formerly known as Moncton Events Centre) - MonctonFirst game in the new centre. It was a great game and an even better facility!
Rating: 1 out of 5by Anonymous on 2018-10-01Avenir Centre (formerly known as Moncton Events Centre) - Moncton The hockey game was excellent. However the pre-game show was an absolute disgrace and looked like something that was put together last minute and was WAY too long. The Stomping Tom Connor impersonation was a joke and the Moncton Wildcats should be ashamed of allowing that person on the ice.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Wildcats Game Excellent
by Anonymous on 2018-10-01Avenir Centre (formerly known as Moncton Events Centre) - MonctonThe game was excellent, seats were great, however there were no cup holders, not so good having to sit your drink on the ground where they stand a great chance of being knocked over. Entering the building did not take long, once the line started moving, we were there around 5 to get in line Exiting the building was atrocious, need to open more doors to let people out quicker. Missed having the Team standings board like in the old coliseum.
