I think the 4-Ice seats over 2,000 because the crowd at the Bathurst game the other night was about 1,600 and there were still at least 20% empty seats. Still, not where you want to host a playoff game. There were 20% empty seats, but probably 200 people standing at least. As far as tracking how many people are attending the game.... ticket sales. |

I wouldn't call it "screwing the main tenant"... you'd probably be surprised how much revenue Irving reaps in from trade shows in which they take part (which is a few)... and that revenue comes in a steady stream throughout the year... not in one big wave, like revenue from one game on one night. That being said, a new arena WOULD be great.... but there has already been so much done to the Coiseum in recent years, perhaps it's not economically feasible for the city to initiate such a venture. A new rink in a few years would be nice... let's not wait until the roof collapses on the old one before building new again. |

The Wildcats OWN the rink. Well they should.. the Cats even get all the canteen money, even for events that aren't Wildcats games. I always thought that wasn't fair.
I would love to see a new rink. A rink downtown though.. I don't know where they would build it. But like the thought of it.

Relax, you have Fabien Joseph and when he is involved his team nevers make the play-offs, so you won't need the ice.

I believe it collapsed on Christmas day that year. It was located across the street from where the Beaver Curling Club is now located, north od St. George Street. |

It was located where the Air Force Base Gym is now...That was the location..The other one is located on Donald Avenue. You can see the frame still standing.. It would be a great place for an outoor rink...
