The place was situated close to T Mount Royal, on a site a short distance from the front of the McGill College Grounds, and all within less than a block below Sherbrooke Street, at Mansfie1.d Street. It was a circular palisaded Huron-Iroquois strong hold, which had been in existence for seyeral generations and had been founded by a party which had broken off in some manner from the Huron nations at Lake Huron, at a period estimated to be somewhere about 1400. It was at that time the dominant town of the entire Lower St. Lawrence Valley, and apparently also of Lake Champlain, in both of which quarters numerous settlements of the same race had sprung from it as a centre. Cartier describes how he found it in the following words: " And in the midst of those fields is situated and fixed the said town of Hochelaga, near and joining a mountain which is in its neighbour­ hood, well tilled and exceedingly fertile; therefrom one sees very far.

But most training camps are held in September, before an NHL season, and last nearly a month. They also include five or six preseason games, and after that goalies might still need a couple of more weeks of playing regularly to hone their timing and puck-tracking skills.

  • International Hockey Festival the Plains of Abraham: When History Catches up with the Present
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release International Hockey Festival The Plains of Abraham: when history catches up with the present Québec, January 18, 2011 – Nearly 100 years after the Stanley Cup was first seen on the Plains of Abraham, the National Battlefields Commission is proud to welcome on these grounds the 3rd International Hockey Festival, to be held next February 4 to 6 during the Québec Winter Carnival. We would like to remind you that it was at the Quebec Skating Rink (Pavillon des patineurs), located on the Plains of Abraham, that the Quebec Bulldogs played in the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada. Led by their star player Joe Malone, the Québec City team won the prestigious Stanley Cup twice, during the 1911-12 and 1912-13 seasons. Malone, a Québec City native, quickly earned the respect of supporters and other league players for his scoring talent, as well as for his impressive game style. In 1918, the building, which could accommodate nearly 2,000 spectators, was destroyed by fire. A stone’s throw from this historical Mecca, amateur hockey players will confront each other for three consecutive days during the greatest festive hockey event in the world. Sports fans are invited to enjoy the enchanting site of the Plains of Abraham when they come to visit. All kinds of entertainment are offered, including cross-country skiing and snowshoeing (if weather permits), the Odyssey multimedia exhibition, as well as a guided snowshoe tour of the park exploring the history of the sport on the Plains of Abraham.
