"Levy is particularly interested in transforming the old Gardens scoreboard with new technology developed at Ryerson. Students at the DMZ are already re-imagining the iconic scoreboard and other key areas of the Maple Leaf Gardens redesign project."
"We've discussed reusing the original scoreboard but updating it with new technology. We're looking to collaborate with some of the students in the Digital Media Zone, using some of the innovative multimedia projects that they're involved in."

"The huge structure that housed the four-sided scoreboard and clock is under wraps for safe keeping, hoisted up to the very top of the Gardens’ roof while work goes on underneath it. It is simply too enormous, Mr. Levy said, to get out of the building. The original frame will be kept. What will go inside it is still a work in progress."

"To further enhance the Gardens' sense of place, Ryerson's Digital Media Zone (DMZ) group is currently devising plans to create extensive interactive media walls throughout the building, as well as on some exterior surfaces, the canopy, and a restored version of the old scoreboard that will once again hang over centre ice. "We want to keep the historical integrity of Maple Leaf Gardens and the awesomeness, but we want to bring it to the now," says Valerie Fox, the DMZ director. "

If you were in the know, you would know that great care was put into making sure the score board was not damaged during the start of construction in order to preserve it for its re-use in the new arena.
