The Centre Slush Puppie is a 4,080-seat arena in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is home to the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.

History
On February 22, 2017, Gatineau City Council approved the construction of a CA$79 million 4,080-seat spectator arena to replace the Robert Guertin Centre.[3] The centre opened on August 20, 2021 [4]
In April 2023, the centre hosted three Ottawa 67's playoff games, as the TD Place Arena was hosting the 2023 World Men's Curling Championship.[5][6]
