From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aitken Centre is located on the campus of the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Constructed in 1976, it was home of the American Hockey League's Fredericton Express (1981-1988) and Fredericton Canadiens (1990-1999). It also serves as home of the UNB Varsity Reds hockey and basketball teams. The arena hosted the University Cup in 2003 and 2004. The arena stood in for the old Montreal Forum, Maple Leaf Gardens and Luzhniki Palace of Sports during the filming of the Canada-Russia '72 miniseries. The Aitken Centre was also the venue for the 2006 CIS Women's basketball championships, won by UBC.
The arena's capacity is 3,685 for ice events and 4,258 for concerts.
