My favourite also....character in that building comes in spades.
I enjoyed going into the old arenas and seeing the boards, bench and ice that past greats played on. In this arena....Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita and Marcel Dionne are just a few of the alltime greats!
I know and understand the need for a new arena but I will miss it!
Hopefully fans who hasn't made the trip will make one soon to appreicate it.

Not sure on the future of the Gatecliffe but here's hoping they actually transfer some of the ol' gurl over to the new arena and the new building is a "hockey arena" and not a multi-purpose cookie cutter entertainment building.

Just hockey arenas are a hard sell many would see very little value it easier to sell a multi entertainment complex to the public.

I'll miss the Jack's atmosphere...and hope that it gets shipped down to the new arena. I WON'T miss:

-the hallways that are so narrow it's hard to get around
-the 40 seat rows in some sections
