Gallery: QMJHL arenas are installing ice

In these dark times, it's good to shine some light on Good Things. So here are some very nice images from the past week showing arenas around the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League putting ice in.

Yes, it's happening. Hockey is coming back.

The QMJHL's pre-season begins next Tuesday. Most teams will be playing in their home rinks with a few exceptions - including the Gatineau Olympiques who will, at least to start the season, call Arena Baribeau home (although, as you can see below, it will look like home).

Moncton - Avenir Centre

What a site at the @AvenirCentre as the ice goes in for some @monctonwildcats hockey!
