original-forum2The Montreal Forum was the second building of that name to occupy the site. The original Forum building was built by Joseph-Alphonse Christin in 1908. A covered oval-shaped rollerskating track wrapped around an exterior ice-skating rink. The building was demolished in 1923 to make way for the Montreal Forum.
