My understanding of the Taffy Abel situation was also that the rink, but not
the complex, was to be renamed.  However, I believe Abel's significance is
that he was the first Native American in the NHL--I'm not sure if he's from
the Sault tribe or not.  The Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians put up $1.5
million of the $4 million needed to complete renovations, so they got to pick
the new name, and chose a Native American hockey hero.
