Certainly. And in 1988, Hockey was played at the Dome, Corral and FDB. Figure skating was the Dome and FDB. Short track and curling were held at Max Bell. It would be more complicated since there are more events in all of those competitions, save figure skating.

The problem, however, is that it would probably be 2026 before the IOC would seriously consider another Canadian bid. I can't see the city hanging onto an obsolete arena until then in the hope that we might get another OGs. The money spent maintaining an empty Dome would be better utilized renovating existing facilities in that case.

Hypothetically:
Hockey (men): New arena, renovated Corral, FDB
Hockey (women): Most games at FDB/Corral; medal round at new arena
Figure skating: New arena, renovated Corral
Curling: COP
Short track: Max Bell
