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.

I would assign guards at the entrance of the section and only allow people to come when there is a whisle since we had to get up or our view was impaired. Overall, all good.
Overall experience was great for the Monday night game against the Islanders, except the score. Prior to start of game with the 5:30 start we wanted to get something to eat. We arrived at the arena about 5pm and figured we had lots of time to get something. Decided on smoked meat on the 200 level. Didn’t seem to be much of a lineup so we joined it. There were almost as many people lined up after the cash as before it. We waited and we waited we missed the introduction of players. We missed the national anthem. We missed the first five minutes of play. They didn’t have any product hot or they ran out out. Wasn’t sure which. Have worked at a hotel for 26 years, learned early that proper preparation will ensure you have the correct product at the correct time which equals happy customers. I felt for the lad who was running all over to get supplies of the smoked meat from, what I guess, we’re the other locations while the stuff in his oven heated. Don’t know if the early start of the game contributed to the problem or not.
The only issue i had was corner seat are not for me as the arms seem to point inwars towrds the front making it difficult to move in and out of the seat.
Great seats and venue. The game was exciting. The Sens have real long-term potential.
As a Canucks fan living in Ottawa I had to see my team take on the Sens. I thought I would get a cold beverage and a bite to eat and hope for the best. I promised myself I wouldn’t cheer for Bo and the boys. I’d just keep quiet. My plan worked when the Sens scored in the first. But as the Canucks took control I cheered and clapped as loud as possible for all 6 goals. An amazing game and lots of fun. Even the Sens fans were great! The beer and food and the venue was first class.
The game was great, and the Sens were showing determination, skills and strong character. Some strategy problems and not so coherent when getting closer to the Flyers goalie.
I had a great time Saturday watching Flyers grind out yet another win. With so many injuries to the club I think they are doing very good. Carter was yet the backbone of the team again. As more players come off the injury list it will only get better. Go Flyers go…
Venue was amazing the energy was electric team is coming together nicely I’m excited for the team this year
Great game... great value... being from the Toronto market... its nice to be able to take your kids to a NHL game and not have to remortgage your house to attend a game.
Other than the DJ, the entire experience in my seats was fantastic. DJ was basically a poor, offkey hypeman... Turn it down two notches and talk less over the music. Lower bowl is too congested in terms of walking in the hallway, getting food, or getting into the bathroom. Good luck if you're not in club seats or club Bell.
Arena was clean. Game was great. Prices a little expensive
Ottawa having a competitive team and bright future along with excitement for the season can add a lot of life into the city.
I’ve been going to Senators home openers for years and this year was the best. Felt like a playoff atmosphere!
Great event, great team , great entertainment. Entertainment was great even between periods.
The atmosphere was incredible and unforgettable. Staff were friendly going to the game and exiting the game
Same as above.. Crowd was loud. Senators won the game.
Team was not as expected but mostly kids playing. Offense was great D was not nor were kid goalies. I think they will be in the future and have faith in both the new management and team. I am excited for this year.
My daughter and I had fun. I got free tickets as I went to Fanfest! Very nice treat!!
She was looking above and below a metal bar put in place to help people walk to their seats. I encouraged her to lean closer to it in order to view the play in our end. #GOSENSGO
I really love seeing a live game but the rest is much too expensive ! 2 hot dogs and drink for $24 ?? Parking $35 ?? Beer $15 ??? I know we have to pay the players but this is too much !
