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.

    Mast wearing at the hockey game

    by G. B. on 2021-10-17Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    I was at the Leafs-Sens season opener. There were clear instructions requiring people to wear masks unless eating or drinking. At least 90% of people not eating/drinking were not wearing masks. Little compliance with and no enforcement of public health rules. There should be enforcement of the public health rules.

    Sens Game Preseason

    by SensFan on 2021-10-04Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Enjoyed being back out in public, going to a game with other people. Did not like that there was no social distancing. For some reason with all the people booking into our section we were all clumped together. Should have the same as at movie theaters, when someone books seats automatically closes off seats in between.

    A tad frustrating

    by Hockeylover on 2021-10-02Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    This was my first time going to a Sens game and I was quite disappointed with the staff/concessions. I understand that it’s only pre-season but there should definitely have been more concessions open. I’m not sure if maybe it was a staffing issue or not but the lines were way too long and slow. I got into line immediately as the 1st period ended, and didn’t get back to my seat until there was 14 minutes left in the 2nd. The biggest kick in the pants was once I made it to the front of the line. There were 2 people working, and they only had 1 debit machine. So they had 1 employee grabbing drinks and the other taking payments. (Keep in mind this concession only had beverages) To me this was not nearly as efficient as it could have been.

    Couldn't Get Food

    by Jay on 2021-10-02Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    I've been to the CTC a few times. This was the first visit since covid hit. Parking was fairly well organized, didn't take us long to get in or out. Vaccination screening was done quick and efficiently. Their security policy concerning bags and purses is a bit strict but I gets that's the world we live in now. The biggest issue was that there were only a few venues open to get food at. I assume this is because of Covid but it didn't make sense that they would make people stand closer together in more condensed line ups rather than open more food stands and have people spread out. On top of the health reasons, you would have to miss some of the game waiting in line as it took more than 20 minutes to get your food if you chose to wait.

    Awesome time!

    by Caper70 on 2020-03-08Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Me and a friend had seats 6 rows up behind the Ottawa net and the view was excellent. Facilities were easy to navigate and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend seeing an event their. I will be back again!

    Hockey game

    by Sourpuss on 2020-03-01Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Didn’t wait long to get in passed security. There are a lot of different vendors and food selection. Did not like the prices though they are jacked sky high so it’s not enjoyable to bring your kids, for 1 child just to get something quick to eat, drink and a bag of cotton candy I spent $40 not including my meal!

    Canucks game

    by chevy on 2020-03-01Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Good experience for the kids, as the Sens won. It’s fond to rebuild, but your product on the ice has to be somewhat relevant for the cost.

    Habs Home Game

    by Hull Boys on 2020-02-25Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    I along with my boys attended the most recent Habs home game at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. The atmosphere was electric as Domi & Price stole the show. (50:1 Habs to Senators sweaters especially in the 100 section.) This was my second game in Ottawa and although the CTC has zero character outside it is easy to get to with ample parking. What it lacks outside it makes up for on the inside. Excellent staff, decent food selections and a great environment (especially the intermission DJ that blows the roof off!).

    Great

    by Mario on 2020-02-25Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    I really enjoied the game even if they lost that night. The place is great but the food and drinks are a bit too expensive. It was easy to access the parking lot and the building. I will return!

    Daughter's first game

    by Rero on 2020-02-23Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    I brought my daughter to the sens vs jets game feb 18th. She is 4 years old and it was her first NHL game. Overall i would describe the experience as very good. I was happy with the food options such as pizza or hot dog combo's availaable as well as a large bucket of popcorn complete with a refill option. The intermission entertainment was a band on this night, which was pretty good also. And who can not like the Prime Ministers lol. The only suggestion i would like to make, is to have more items available in the upstairs store for girls. I did get her a Sparta Cat stuffed animal, and ponk sens tooq, however there weren't really any options for pink T Shirts in her size. They had some shirts for toddlers, just would have been nice if they had some youth sizes too. Overall good experience though, i will definitely be bringing her back.

    Not worth the ride

    by Flyer on 2020-02-23Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    An hour trip each way to get to the Sens game from downtown. Once you get there it gets worse. They basically make you go through security outside. The concessions stands ran out of cheeseburgers. It was taking 10-15 minutes to get what food they did have left during the first intermission. The people working there are not happy. Sat 4th row from the glass and the seats were the worst I have sat in anywhere. The only reason to go to a Sens game is to mark it off the list of all the NHL arenas and so you can tell people you survived the game.

    Sens Special Night

    by M. C. on 2020-02-21Canadian Tire Centre - Ottawa

    Overall a great night but overcharged for parking and food and drinks. Told to arrive early, did as suggested but forced to wait outside in the cold with no access to food, drinks or washroom. If the rink was in the Flats public transit would work.
