Hi Bill,


That's what I meant.  It's like going out doors at BC place.

Ivor Wynne sucks because it's like Ottawa's Lansdowne Park, too old, the new
owners of the Argos want to put up a McGill sized stadium at Varsity (U of
T), which was torn down last Summer, seating  25,000.

I used to play Soccer at Lamport, but you're right, it would be a great
venue for outdoor hockey.

In '68, my Uncle in New Westminster took me to see a Canucks game at the
PNE!  Before the NHL days of '70.
