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.

Always a great time watching a live game with my kids
Canadian Tire Centre needs to get organized. It was a gongshow getting in and they were only at half capacity. Can't imagine how much worse it will be now that full capacity is open. Parking: cars lined up on Palladium from Terry Fox Dr to get in. Signage needed so that once near the parking lots, westbound drivers will know they can't enter southside lots and vice versa. Otherwise you end up having to drive past the stadium, turning back at next intersection to get into another long line in other direction. At the stadium, long lines outoors to get inside. Finally get inside to be told no one with purses (I had a mini one for glasses, inhaler) can enter at main gate entrance. Signage outside to that effect would have been helpful. Scratch that. Put up signage stating that outside!!! Instead they send us back outside and around the corner to line up at gate 3 where there was another long line of people -- all I talked to were redirected there like me. Result: missed most of first period. Do better CTC. Other stadiums do. Take a lesson from them.
The worst set up, to get to the game to have no choice but to drive, and there is no one to direct traffic as it is coming in from both directions. The game starts at 7:00 you would have to be there at 5:00 to avoid the jams, then to leave it took us an hour to get out, and this was at 50% capacity. Would I go back, properly not.
It was a fun evening with a good hockey game. The between period entertainment could have been better, not much of a DJ fan.
L'expérience n'est peut être pas la même.. L'intro n'est pas à la hauteur de ce que l'ont pensait.. le son est mauvais et il n'y a aucun effet de lumière sur la patinoire mais sommes toute, la game, la vue, les prix en valaient la peine
The seats and atmosphere were awesome even with half capacity. The view was excellent from the lower half of Sec. 318. The staff was courteous and helpful. The Sens played a great game. My girlfriend and I were invited to take a ride on the Fanzoni between the 2nd and 3rd periods along with four other fans. It was a fun and exciting treat!! GO SENS GO!!!
Got notifications that I would be reimbursed for original tickets being canceled, due to COVID restrictions. I had to buy new tickets because restrictions were lifted. So I’ m still waiting for reimbursement of original tickets. Please tell when this be done? Thanks
Got great seats and a reasonable price It was a Christmas gift and was a good game for senators as they won
We (family of 4- myself my wife and our 6&4yrs old) were stopped from entering the stadium because my wife's purse was "too big"(it's barely big enough for her wallet and keys). We waited outside while she walked back to the car to leave it, which gave me the time to watch. Many ladies were allowed to go in with much bigger bags and purses. The employee's decision is totally subjective. There's not measurement tool to decide. I feel my wife was targeted. Your employees let people in with alcool in their "Tim Hortons cup", but won't let my wife's purse in? Brilliant. Your employees let people smoke weed in the parking lot, but my wife's purse is too big? Genius! Good job!
I didn’t like how the fans starting bitching at me for cheering for a Tampa bay goal then it got declined and they told me after that your team is so shit fucking losers
Impossible to get a taxi after the game, half the concessions closed, arena built in the middle of nowhere.... certainly not an NHL level experience !!!
Event venue was well organized, and the staff were very polite and hard working. Impressed with the overall experience from entering to leaving
200 level seating at centre ice provides great views!
Every time I go to the Sens games I have a great time! Although they struggled the effort this young team exerts is always entertaining. There are no bad seats at the Canadian Tire Centre. The view of the ice surface and the action is fantastic from the 100s, 200s, and 300s. The CTC staff are friendly and outgoing and provide a safe atmosphere even during the pandemic. The Ottawa Police are visible but not intrusive. They act professionally and interact with the fans in a fun and outgoing way. The only improvements could be to the food. We ate at the Royal Oak and to say their nachos were abysmal would be an understatement especially at the price. The beer prices at the concession stands and restaurants are high but not surprising.
Awesome night ! Sens played really well and the atmosphere was great
Missed start of game due to them not mentioning bag rule earlier. Beer overpriced and my fav Sid Crosby not playing. I left disappointed after second period.
Great atmosphere and building Way better then a game in Toronto.
The Canadian tire centre is very accessible. Lots of parking, passes can be purchased in advance. Lots of space, organized very well to accommodate big groups. Atmosphere is amazing. DJ party between periods at hockey game. Lots of fun fan games and interaction. Great price points :)
Absurdly high prices for a nearly AHL-level hockey team. When you are consistently trading away recognizable names and finishing 30th in the league, you might think to start doing more to pull people out to games.
