I still call the rec center Lindsay Park, so I can get behind this.

Quoting this for emphasis.
Fireplace is excellent. It ensures the sponsor's name doesn't get used.

Everyone needs to get on board with this already. It's the Fireplace, end of story. It creatively uses the actual name of the arena in the nickname and the arena is going to have a fire motif on the exterior of the building making it look like, y'know... an actual fireplace.
It's the obvious choice and the only correct answer and I will not hear arguments for any other nicknames.

Definitely need an unofficial moniker so that Scotiabank is never a name we actually need to utter in regular conversation.
Besides, I'm with TD.
I like fireplace or fire pit.

The worst part of these corporate names is they change every 10 years - so you'll have some nickname for it and then it will change to RBC Centre or Big Oil Arena and you'll have years of getting the name wrong or being dumbfounded when someone uses the new or old name. Especially if you've got a convention center, stadiums or other facility with sponsor names - so you've got to think - which one is the BMO Centre now?

Or you do what happened in Edmonton, where it was Shaw Conference center for so long people still call it The Shaw here when really, its official name is the unbranded Edmonton Convention Centre.

BMO Centre has been the name for 19 years and has been the only corporate sponsor. Before that it was the Round-Up Centre.
Scotiabank is signing multiple sponsorships for lengthy periods. Toronto goes until 2037, and they have had naming for Saddledome for 16 years, and the new name will probably be until 2037 at the earliest.
I hate the corporate names, I'll call it the fireplace as well, but the worst part about the corporate names now is its either Scotia or Rogers in Canada and will be for a long time.

There will be an actual outdoor flaming cauldron on the south side of the building, FWIW.
