The Pee-Wee 3D : L’hiver qui a changé ma vie movie, produced by Éric Tessier, was released in December 2012. While the great majority of ice rink scenes were filmed at the Colisée de Québec, some were shot elsewhere, including at the Verdun Auditorium. To harmonize the decor, a section of the Colisée de Québec’s stands was recreated at the Auditorium, and all the doors to the corridor leading to the players’ locker rooms were painted navy blue. The Auditorium was thus transformed into the Colisée de Québec!
