About Canadian Tire Centre

Canadian Tire Centre

Planning a hockey pilgrimage to Canada's capital? You'll find yourself heading west from downtown Ottawa to the suburb of Kanata, where the Senators' home ice awaits. This multi-purpose arena has been welcoming fans since January 1996, though you might hear locals still reference its previous names—it's gone through quite the identity journey from the Palladium to Corel Centre to Scotiabank Place before settling into its current Canadian Tire Centre moniker in 2013.

While the suburban location means you'll need to plan your transportation (it's about a 30-minute drive from central Ottawa), the venue delivers an authentic NHL experience once you arrive. Whether you're catching a Senators game or attending one of the concerts and events held here throughout the year, you'll be stepping into nearly three decades of Ottawa sports history.
