PQ has the 3 newest rinks, but overall most of the Quebec teams arenas are ancient in comparison to the Maritime teams. Here's a list newest to oldest in the Q:
1. QUE Centre Videotron (2015)
2. BLA Centre d'Excellence Sports Rousseau (2010)
3. SHA Centre Bionest (2008)
4. BAT K.C. Irving Regional Centre (1996)
5. STJ Harbour Station (1993)
6. CHA Eastlink Centre (1990)
7. CAP Centre 200 (1987)
8. VIC Colisée Desjardins (1980)
9. HAL Halifax Metro Centre (1978)
10. MON Moncton Coliseum (1973)
11. BAC Centre Henry-Leonard (1970)
12. RIM Colisée de Rimouski (1966)
13. SHE Palais des Sports (1965)
14. DRU Centre Marcel-Dionne (1963)
15. GAT Robert Guertin Arena (1957)
16. ROU Aréna Iamgold (1951)
17. CHI Centre Georges-Vézina (1949)
18. VAL Centre Air Creebec (1949)
That's every Maritime team in the top ten (age-wise) and once Moncton's new rink is completed that will be 5 of the top 8 newest facilities. So it could be worse. You just can't beat the atmosphere in some of those old arenas though.
