Just speculating here, but but I think the non-WHL activities there will be mainly in the form of other types of hockey (ice rentals, development programs, etc.). The arena will be part of The Rink's complex and they already run a huge array of hockey programs for all levels.
Also, the location is way out in the SW corner of the city somewhat removed from the rest of the city, and I think the existing players have a pretty solid lock on the local entertainment market. I can imagine the occasional concert or other sports event taking place there (a boxing card, let's say), but I'd be pretty surprised if they started regularly booking concerts and what not at the new WHL rink.
