PEPS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pavillon de l'éducation physique et des sports de l'Université Laval ("Sports and Phys. Ed. Pavillion at the University of Laval"), or PEPS for short, is a sports complex located in Quebec City, Quebec, on the campus of the Université Laval. PEPS features an outdoor stadium, indoor swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts, a fitness centre, and two ice hockey arenas that can be combined into one to host long track speed skating.

The main arena seats 2,000 and was home to the re-born Québec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League between 1997 and 1999, when they moved back to their traditional home, the Colisée Pepsi.

Since 2004, PEPS has been the home of the WTA Tour's Bell Challenge. PEPS is now home to the new Quebec City Kebekwa basketball franchise of American Basketball Association.
