Ottawa Charge Shifts Home Arena to Canadian Tire Centre, Home of NHL’s Senators
The PWHL team is expected to announce it will play home games at the Canadian Tire Centre after averaging 13,416 fans there in the playoffs.
- On Thursday, the Ottawa Charge announced a move to the Canadian Tire Centre, where the Professional Women's Hockey League team will share the arena with the NHL's Ottawa Senators. Senators president and CEO Cyril Leeder joined the announcement.
- Planned renovations at TD Place Arena would have reduced capacity to less than 6,000, prompting the Charge's departure. The team also rejected the new Lansdowne Park arena due to insufficient seating compared to its previous 9,500-seat capacity.
- Attendance data substantiates the move: the Charge drew 17,114 spectators to a regular-season game against the Montreal Victoire on April 3 and averaged over 13,000 fans during four playoff games at the CTC this spring.
- Lansdowne Park will likely host the Ontario Hockey League's Ottawa 67's, who appear poised to become the primary sports tenant at the new arena currently under construction at the site.
- While the Charge will operate out of the CTC, the NHL's Senators continue exploring a potential move to a new downtown arena at Lebreton Flats, though construction has not yet begun.
