Exactly.
Look at Civic Arena, the entrance was on the city side not the water side, where the parking lot and the city were just like this place should be and I never said it was really windy, I just said the water side would be colder and windier.
Also, your theory about ferries doesn't make much sense because Victoria has always had a team, just not a WHL team. As I recall, the ECHL in which Victoria had a team, was actually a higher league than the WHL.
