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.

We went by bus from Brookstreet was a short fun filled ride. Dropped off close and picked up exact same spot 20 minutes after the game. Easy enter easy exit from the rink. All staff very professional and friendly. As usual!
Had a great experience seating 101 row H. I will definitely get those tickets again
My only negative at the Canadian tire center is the lack of gluten free food. It's very difficult for a person, with food allergies to eat there. In this day and age, this should be better. Other than that, we had a great experience!
It always help when your team is winning. Need a bit more crowd interaction cause that's the attraction in between play or intermission. Go Sens Go!!!
Great to see the Sens pull off another win with Brady still out. Scary when the puck flew past us and hit a woman in the face sitting in the row right behind us.
Clean stadium with good parking, lines moved fast, plenty of food and bev choices, clean bathrooms. Sens were great, lot of crowd engagement. We had a great time- our 10yr old's first NHL game!
Not a terrible experience. overall pretty good. only complaint is how small the seats are. we were 3 thicker built people and did not sit comfortably at all. same with the people beside us as well
A perfect experience from start to finish. I’ve never attended an event with zero issues like this. It was excellent
Absolutely awesome experience. Cannot recommend it enough. Amazing game, arena and environment. First ever NHL game for this Aussie who made the trek over to see them play.
Lots of fun! Would love to go again. Got a puck and a poster, my son won a contest, got on TV and the Jumbotron a few times. Traffic is bad leaving but expected that.
The entire staff, from the ticket takers, to vendors in Ottawa do a fantastic job at welcoming the fans and making it a special event. We go early to watch warmups and are welcomed down to the benches for the best view. Thanks very much Senators staff !
It was my first time at Senator game. I had a great time. Crowds were electrifying and thrilling.
Game night at the Senators is a great time. They team plays hard and never gives up which makes it experience fantastic. Win or lose it is worth the money for the game ticket. Go Sens GO. Let's cheer the team on to a playoff spot this year.
It was a fun night even if the Sens lost. Great view. It is time though for the seats at CTC to be replaced. They are very worn.
My husband and I took two of our grandsons to a game against the Jets. Overall the game experience was great. Our problem is the price of the concessions. Two water, one ice tea, one ginger ale and a small popcorn cost $37.95!! This is gouging. It should be affordable for everyone.
The skills competition was great! Really appreciated seeing the Chargers, and young ones incorporated into the whole event. The amount of memorabilia that was being given away at the end was unbelievable.
Beaucoup de plaisir, malgré la défaite! ambiance électrisante, gros bravo à Jérémie Trépannier durant les entractes! très solide!! Seul chose que je déplore, ma conjointe n'a pu acheter un rhum double en plus de son breuvage. On avait deux enfants avec nous et ça rend les choses difficiles.
Fantastic game experience. First timer. Venue well run, clean & well organized. Kudos.
Everything thing was great from ushers to atmosphere. Only complaint is the music is way too loud between faceoffs, etc.
Great night Wonderful dinner right in venue before hand Easy access to seats Have attended games in other venues but the Sens put on the best show Give away Between period entertainment And finally Star Wars Night was a fantastic bonus
