The NiagaraFalls Memorial Arena is an arena located in NiagaraFalls , Ontario , Canada . It was built in 1950 and has a capacity of approximately 3,000. The arena was home to various ice hockey teams in the past, including the NiagaraFalls Thunder and the NiagaraFalls Flyers . It currently serves as the home of the NiagaraFalls Cannucks, a team in the Greater Ontario Junior B Hockey League. The city has discussed building a new arena to replace it and development is well under way. The new arena will have a similar capacity in one of the four ice pads, with the other three having a modest capacity for recreational hockey and skating league purposes. The new facility will become a community center, of sorts, for ice based activities with offices for figure skating and house league hockey organizations. The NiagaraFalls Memorial Arena is scheduled to be demolished to make room for a parking lot upon completion of the new four pad arena in 2009. Updates on the project and the state of the old Memorial Areana can be found on the City of NiagaraFalls website at www.niagarafalls.ca The arena will get one last chance to relive its glory days by hosting an Ontario Hockey League game before it fades into the city s history. The Niagara IceDogs hosted the Ottawa 67 s on March 1 at the Memorial Arena, which in its heyday was home to the NiagaraFalls Flyers and NiagaraFalls Thunder hockey teams.

Unreferenced date November 2006 Infobox Album See Wikipedia WikiProject Albums Name NiagaraFalls Type studio Artist Greg Hawkes Cover NiagaraFalls LP.jpg Released 1983 Recorded Syncro Sound, Boston Genre Length Label Passport Records Producer Greg Hawkes, Walter Turbitt Reviews Last album This album Next album NiagaraFalls is the first solo album released by Greg Hawkes , best known as an original member of The Cars . It was released in 1983 by Passport Records. Hawkes plays all instruments with one exception see below , with programmed drums and multiple layers of keyboard parts, as well as rhythm guitar. It was recorded at Syncro Sound, then The Cars s private recording studio. Tuneful and not overly experimental, it sounds despite the instrumental nature of the material very much like the Shake It Up The Cars album Shake It Up era of The Cars. Jet Lag and Voyage Into Space are the only tunes to feature lyrics Jet lag It s a real drag and Voyage into space Check out some other place sometimes processed through a vocoder . Voyage Into Space also features the artist s wife, Elaine Hawkes, on flute . Hawkes would not release another solo album for 25 years. His second solo album, though also instrumental, was very different in sound than this, his first The Beatles Uke 2005 featured Hawkes playing instrumental versions of Beatles songs on the ukelele. As of this writing, NiagaraFalls has yet to be released on CD.
