Suggestions for the Victoria Rink restoration?

   So I wrote an article recently in a thing called Openfile. ca about Billy Georgette and his proposal to restore this downtown indoor parking lot back to what it was: the birthplace of organized hockey. I am a big fan of Billy and his plan and won't rehash all of the crazy details of his quest, which involves making his case by pleading with PM Mulroney at a restaurant urinal and jumping in Pierre Trudeau's taxi to make his pitch.
   A newly-refurbished rink would bring tourists and could be a fabulous hockey landmark that recognizes the importance of the game to this city without relying on the Montreal Canadiens.
   The city of Montreal seems to like the project and just wants a letter describing some of the possibilities. If they get some sort of credible outline, with a vision of the project, why it would attract tourists and who might be the possible private benefactors, they will then hire experts to do a serious and professional feasibility study. So I said I'd try to help but would very much also invite the input of others. There's a comments section below where your ideas would be welcome.
