Stub This article has been rated as stub-Class on the quality scale.

I remember the common description of the Forum's location as "Saint Catherine and Atwater" but can't think of a good way to work that in to the existing stub that wouldn't sound pointlessly redundant. 18.26.0.18 04:25, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This article needs an expansion. The Montreal Forum is such an important landmark in Quebec and Canadian history that it needs to be discussed more. The Beatles came here during the 60's and Mohammad Ali fought here as well. How about the Howie Morenz incident or the Rocket Richard riots of 1955? The Montreal Forum served as focal point for much of Montreal's history. And maybe a little more about the last game? I invite a hockey expert to come on here and revamp this entry for it badly needs it. Hanes3777

[edit] screwup

>it was home to 24 Stanley Cups (24 of the Canadiens and two of the Montreal Maroons, for whom the arena was originally built).

Habs won at least 1 cup not in it (1916). I have no idea for 1924. --70.55.108.171 (talk) 03:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't make sense. Someone want to post the correct number(s)? TheHYPO (talk) 16:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First road team to win Cup, on Forum ice?

Didn't the New York Rangers defeat the Montreal Maroons in 1928, on Forum ice? GoodDay (talk) 21:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No glass behind home bench

Hey, can anyone find a citation to prove that there was no glass behind the home bench of the Canadiens at the Forum? Although not from Canada, I distinctly remember this feature whenever I watched the Bruins play in Montreal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.27.111.123 (talk) 10:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
