P.K. Subban and Snoop Dogg shoot hoops for charity
Somebody will correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure the George Vezina Arena in Chicoutimi, the Robert Guertin Arena in Hull / Gatineau and the Palais des Sports in Sherbrooke still exist.

Not sure if this is true about the Robert Guertin Arena. I found it on Wikipedia.
"In May 2011, it was announced that a new 5,000 seat arena would be built on the same site. The old arena would be demolished. The estimated cost of the new arena is $63 million. Between 1992 and 1994, the Arena also hosted the March and June events for World Wrestling Entertainment due to the TD Place Arena at Lansdowne Park having other events scheduled. These were held on the last Friday of the month, and unlike the TD Arena which only used four floodlights from the scoreboard to light the ring, Robert Guertin Centre was able to house a fully operating light and laser grid like those seen on televised wrestling events. In June of 1994, the Quebecers defeated the Headshrinkers in a WWF Tag Team Championship match by pinfall; however the belts were retained by the Headshrinkers, which caused anger amongst fans present at the event."
