Winsport only seats 3k. I'm surprised it isn't a Women's hockey Venue for non Canada / US games.

Exactly. I also read curling being left as TBD as part of this. The likely outcome would be curling in the fieldhouse, and the 3 rinks needed for m/w hockey, figure skating, and short track are new area, saddledome, and Winsport (low draw hockey).
