The arena was named after Molson, Inc a brewing company that
owned the team at the time of the arena opening. However, when Molson decided
to sell the team they also sold the naming rights to the stadium,
Canadian Telecommunications Company, Bell Canada would buy
the team, and purchase the naming rights to the stadium. The Bell Centre still
has the largest seating capacity for any NHL stadium with 21,407 seats.
The Bell Centre is known throughout the league for having
some of the loudest and largest crowds on hand for any given game.
