I can remember skating at that Windsor arena many times as a kid. It was more like a 4000 seat arena though. Very old and dark.

[@jeffpedler7225]

You forgot the Ice House in London.

[@55098]

Miss the old barn

[@BraedenD]

really was hoping for the old greyhounds garden

[@johnmiller4973]

The Guelph Memorial Gardens site is now part of City Hall. 🙂

[@noahbois1574]

wheres the soo greyhounds old centre at

[@Liverpoollassie]

Hey darius love your videos and the ohl collective is a genius ideas Love you

[@sudsysutherland359]

How the heck was the London Knights old arena “London Gardens” not mentioned?! That was a well respected arena & not only for hockey but a lot of historic concerts as well such as the famous “Johnny Cash” show at London Gardens where Johnny Cash proposed to June Carter on stage & she finally said yes lol. It also held “WWF” wrestling matches as well, but it was a very cool arena to watch the knights & Jr.B London Nationals.

Old barn in Windsor still standing today in 2023.

[@Lennie72]

What about the Sarnia Arena where the sarnia sting played out of. That arena has a lot of history from having the sarnia Bees jr.b team played and still has jr b hockey playing out of it

[@dickensonfarms]

Only guessing, but probably because it was such a short time. A shame though, it's an amazing place to watch a game

[@craignelson7940]

Windsor Arena had a listed capacity of 4400. But to cram 4400 in the building you hoped the people beside you wore deodorant because you got up close and personal with your fellow fans.

[@streetcarjay]

You are not thorough buddy. The Sault Memorial Gardens was Northern Ontario's ice palace.

[@fabio40]

You forgot London Gardens. It still stands empty.

[@mcadamian836]

Anyone notice there was 3 benches in the Kingston memorial centre?

[@revolverrambles]

Team benches were on opposite sides of the rink and the 3rd one was the penalty box. It was just a bench separated by the time keeper.

[@d3m0n876]

Love the kingston mem centre, tuesday and thursday beer league at 10:30 or 11:30 PM now home to the Queen's Gaels the best partiers in the OUA

[@seanmoloney7797]

How could you not include the Niagara Falls Memorial Arena?!

[@ryanallaire8496]

What about the Cornwall civic complex that held one of the most successful ohl teams

[@seanwinter5360]

What about the London Gardens?

[@nickdewar8602]

Where’s the soo memorial gardens at ??

[@johnmiller4973]

The AHL version of the Yardmen Arena still has no seating in the end zones. The extra seating was acquired by the shrinkage of the ice surface to regulation

[@Nsmith16]

Not true, they opened up the one end as well for seats. Seating now on 3 sides with a balcony on the 4th.

[@oliverjohnstone7747]

Where is the Sault Ste. Marie memorial gardens?

[@mattdoe04]

Missed fully covering the Oshawa Civic centre even though it was mentioned

[@junkyardjim]

aw man... disappointement, no Soo Memorial Gardens... In 1993 during the memorial cup they quite literally had people hanging off the rafters. gotta update this bud

[@theliamkeane]

I was hoping to see the brampton battalion

[@markfarrell5700]

You forget the soo memorial gardens which torn down rebuilt as the gal memorial gardens

[@ssjgohink3617]

What about the London Ice House?

[@fabio40]

a.k.a. London Gardens

[@waynelarsen2677]

The Hamilton Forum missed

[@markgresch9944]

Also Mountain Arena too.

[@ianross806]

Missed mentioning the Kingston Canadians during the 1970s and 80s, followed by one year as the Raiders, before they were renamed the Frontenacs. They are part of the OHL history too.

[@Lathenboucher1534]

8:02 14,400 seat capacity??! We could only take in 4400.
