Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
The building the Nordiques called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names the Colisée from the Quebec City years.
- Final home: Colisée de Québec (1979–1995), Quebec City, QC — the Nordiques' only NHL home. Hockey capacity was about 15,400.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1979, the year the Nordiques joined the NHL in the WHA merger. The Colisée de Québec was their only NHL home. WHA seasons sit outside this window.
If your ticket says Colisée de Québec, that is the Nordiques' NHL home. Colisée Pepsi was a later name applied after the franchise moved to Denver in 1995—so a Colisée Pepsi ticket is not a Nordiques game.
The franchise relocated to Denver in 1995 and became the Colorado Avalanche, who won the Stanley Cup in 1996. Nordiques nights stay in this archive; Colorado nights belong on the Avalanche page. The Battle of Quebec rivalry with Montreal ran through these Colisée seasons. Peter Stastny, who won the Calder Trophy in 1980–81, was the name most associated with the early NHL years in Quebec.
The Quebec Nordiques hosted NHL games at the Colisée de Québec in Quebec City, QC, Canada, from 1979 to 1995. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names that arena.
