Realistically not many sports complex users get there on transit. Maybe if we had more transit-accessible locations it would improve somewhat (although not many kids will haul hockey gear on a bus), but look at the arena/sports complex locations in K-W built in the last few decades, and apart from Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex, few are accessible by transit. RIM Park, Activa, CORE are all car-oriented. How about Cambridge Sports Park, is it transit-accessible (and do people actually use transit to get there)?
I can actually walk from home to Don McLaren (next to KCI and GRH) -- but carrying hockey equipment all that way diminishes the appeal of the walk!
The YMCA in cambridge does have a lot of transit users for it's gym facilities.
