The family moved into a house on Varadi Avenue in Brantford seven months after Wayne was born, chosen partly because its yard was flat enough to make an ice rink on every winter.
Rodina sa presťahovala na Varadi Avenue v Brantforde, sedem mesiacov po tom, čo sa Wayne narodil, čiastočne preto, že záhrada bola dosť rovná na to, aby sa každú zimu na nej urobilo klzisko.
