But I guess those names are better than "Sir John A. Macdonald Gardens", eh?
I kind of miss the geographic appellations that were once common, although interestingly none of the Canadian NHL rinks of the 80s and 90s were named after people:

Pacific Coliseum
Olympic Saddledome
Northlands Coliseum
Winnipeg Arena
Maple Leaf Gardens
Ottawa Civic Centre
Montreal Forum
Le Colisée

The closest we got to a NHL rink named after someone in modern times was Copps Coliseum...
