Ottawa Senators History
The original Ottawa Senators were founded in 1883 and were one of the founding teams of the NHL during its early years, winning 11 Stanley Cup Championships between 1903 and 1927. When the NHL started to expand to the U.S., the Senators were sold to St. Louis and became the Eagles, but the team shuttered after one year. The second incarnation of the Senators joined the NHL in 1992. The Senators have since gone on to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs 16 times.

Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre
Located in Kanata, a vibrant suburb of Ottawa, Canadian Tire Centre is one of the region's premiere entertainment venues. Since opening in 1996, the arena has served as the home of the Ottawa Senators. Capable of hosting 18,000 fans for hockey games, the arena is also regularly used for concerts and other sports events. In 2007, the arena hosted games three and four of the Stanley Cup Finals. The arena is also known for being the place where Wayne Gretzky played his final NHL game in Canada.
The Ottawa Senators’ 2023–24 regular season kicks off in October at PNC Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, when the Senators face off against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Senators will also participate in the 2023 NHL Global Series — hosted at Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden — with matches against the Detroit Red Wings on November 16 and the Minnesota Wild on November 18. They play their final game of the regular season at TD Garden against Atlantic Division opponents the Boston Bruins. Here’s a list of key games to keep an eye on:
Tickets for the 2023–24 regular season can be purchased on Ticketmaster, the Official Ticket Marketplace of the Ottawa Senators.
The Senators have made one appearance in the Stanley Cup Final (in 2007), but have never won the Stanley Cup.

The Sens have an entertaining team and the experience at the Canadian Tire Centre is good. The problem is leaving the game is a mess. People are rushing out the door to get to their car before the end of the match because they want to get stuck for 45-60 minutes in their cars. They need to have more people out to close roads and direct traffic.
The value for money spent was very poor during this visit. The price of concessions is extreme even when comparing to historically expensive locations like airports or hotels. When the cost of a pretzel is over $7 one would at least expect it to be warm. Mine was cold and soggy. When the concession staff was asked about it I received a shrug of the shoulders. For a city that is getting more and more sporting options competing for dollars this may be a poor strategy. Women’s hockey has my interest, I’ve always like lacrosse and the 67’s have a consistent product far more affordable and in a better location
Country Music theme at hockey game; not a country-music guy but was a great atmosphere. Wonderful concert by Tim Hicks. Good effort by the home team for 40% of the game Hate the new parking payment model. Missed 1/2 of the 2nd period trying to find a kiosk to pay.
Tim Hicks was amazing! One of my favourite canadian artists and country singers period for that matter. Sens game was great too our 6th this year! Go Sens!
Going to the Sens game is a pricy event, if you like to have a few drinks and possibly food. A glass of wine was $24 with tip, beer was $17. We were lucky to get free valet parking *normally $80 I got a single ticket because I was last minute going with my friends which was only $39. We ended up just hanging out at Berts Bar for most of it, which is fun. Basically we paid a $40 cover to get into Bert's Bar. (cost of the ticket)
First time to Ottawa. Beautiful sunny weather. Had a great time at the game. Seen a concert the night before Nathaniel Rateliff stole the show. And we were lucky enough to skate on the Rideau Canal.
Amazing service for the food Full security Easy to go
Always a fun experience at the Canadian tire centre especially when I can get accessible seats
We has a great time at the game! Staff were helpful and friendly
My son and I drove to Ottawa to watch the Senators vs Nashville Predators game. It was a quick trip but enjoyable. Entertaining game and nice drive.
A great experience in Ottawa for the Sens game. The only problem is getting out of there plus the security who doesn't allow people to have any contact with the players!
Great venue. Great staff. Love the atmosphere Hate the price of food and booze tho!!! The mark up is nuts!
5 rows from the ice for under $125 per ticket. Nosebleeds to see a Leaf game are at least twice that amount. Rink is easy to get to, lots of parking, and a great fan experience.
Purchasing rink side seats has been the most awesome experience for us Boston Fans! We even made Boston’s fb!! However…getting to see the Senators play on home ice is a treat;-)
It was so amazing!!! Service parking entry hard rock drinks waitress at seats and the AWESOME GAME
Parking dissapointment- My usual parking lot had been designated as "Parking pass only"with no prior notice given at the time of tickets purchased. Then the lot we were diverted too, required us to scan QR code to also download and pay through the app. If not for the 20yr old we had with us, we would have been in real trouble. Then at the end of the night, the dispersal of the lot was total chaos. We sat motionless for 45mins until I executed a hazardous many-point U-turn to get out to a Westward exit. (Ironically through the lot I had first wanted to use, but was denied) Once inside the arena, things were much better. All the staff at the door, and on our isle were at their usual excellent levels.......However....I don't remember the seats being so tightly spaced. I didn't grow sideways, or taller, but somehow our fit into these premium seats reminded me of the last time I flew commercial, economy! Did you guys get pointers on how to cram more seats into the rows? Last season my same crew of 6, sat very much more comfortably in the same area. (We have grown acustom to in-seat service). Our service was excellent as usual, but because of the tight fit, I doubt I would ever try to eat while seated again. It was very troublesome to say the least. Exrtremely dissapointing, given the premium pricing. The venue is overall excellent, but the condition of the Men's restroom is not. The stall doors were useless, the floors a mess, the sink area soaked and towels all gone, and the trash overflowing. It is important to remember that this is the restroom supporting the 100 level premium seating. Many highway rest stops are much better. I'm thinking that the new owners restroom is in better shape eh? The beer was cold, the Egg Rolls and hotdog were awesome, and the team is playing well. All in all, things were good, but it's the little things that could be a lot better, and if improved, they would make the experiance GREAT instead of just good. Thank you for this chance to provide feedback. Kevin Kubota
Getting to, parking at, and exiting the Canadian Tire Centre remains a serious drag on this organization's success. I'm willing to endure it for the one game per year that Winnipeg comes to town, otherwise my entertainment $ go to other local team centrally located closer to downtown. If the ownership pulls the trigger on a new, centrally located arena, I think they will see a serious up-tick in single and seasons ticket sales.
I took my 7 year son to his first NHL game. He was absolutely in love with the atmosphere, also the fact it went into OT. Sadly, the Sens did loose in the end but what a game! Can’t wait until we come again!
What a great night. Helps the sens won against our heated rivalry the MTL Canadians. Hats off to the organizers Live band , gifts, entertainment … also taking the bus was a fast and easy way out of the Canadian tire Center.
Not only did the Senators score 6 goals in their win over Montreal, the stadium had a lot of fan interaction with free giveaways between periods, great selection of foods to choose from (I had my first Steak Canadian!), and very helpful and attentive staff in all areas. It was a wonderful first time experience at the Canadian Tire Center for us!
