We have all these train lines to the burbs, but nothing that easily gets people circulating within the inner city neighborhoods. Too many spokes, not enough wheel!

You could accomplish this with a bus route, too. Something dedicated with built up infrastructure/bus lanes that made it a quick route, especially if you want to move people to/from the new arena and back into the more happening parts of the city. But a streetcar/tram kind of thing would be cool, too.
Instead of a loop, I’d do two intersecting routes:
Kensington (Memorial/10 st)
Sunalta (10 ave/14 st)
17 ave/14 st
Tomkins (17 ave/8 st)
Mission (17 ave/4 st)
Arena
East Village
and
Sunalta
10 ave/8 st
10 ave/4 st
9 ave/1 st SE
East Village
Inglewood
Two intersections at Sunalta and East Village, with one taking you as far as Inglewood and the other as far as Kensington.
Both routes also intersect with nearby LRT stations, too.
