The CN Centre (formerly Prince George Multiplex) is a 5,971-seat multi-purpose arena, in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. It was designed by PBK Architects, opened in 1995 and is owned by the City of Prince George. There are 14 luxury suites. In 2005, Canadian National Railway purchased the naming rights to the building which has previously been known as the Multiplex.
The CN Centre has a 200 ft. x 85 ft. ice surface, and is able to convert to an Olympic-sized ice surface of 200 ft. x 100 ft.
It is home to the Prince George Cougars ice hockey team of the Western Hockey League.

Such performers have included: KISS, Avril Lavigne, Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, Elton John, the Blue Man Group, Mötley Crüe, Nickelback, ZZ Top, Sarah McLachlan, Bonnie Raitt, and Brooks and Dunn. Besides concerts, the CN Centre has hosted David Copperfield, Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus, mixed martial art events, monster trucks, rodeos, and various ice shows. The CN Centre was also home of the Prince George Fury, of the Canadian Indoor Soccer League for one season in 2010.
The CN Centre links with the three Kincentre arenas, creating a multi-functional four arena complex.
