The same year, it bought the management and naming rights of the Videotron Centre, an indoor arena in Quebec City that opened in 2015.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=gandm-vtcentre>Template:Cite web</ref>
In 2014, the company purchased the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In 2015, Quebecor submitted an application for an National Hockey League expansion franchise in Quebec City.
