Sens, NCC have land sale agreement for LeBreton Flats arena
The Ottawa Senators and National Capital Commission (NCC) say they've taken the next step toward building a major events centre and surrounding district at LeBreton Flats on the western edge of the city's downtown. The NCC and Capital Sports and Development Inc. (CDSI), the corporation representing the Senators in the project, put out a joint statement Monday afternoon. "[We] have signed an agreement of purchase and sale for land parcels totalling approximately 11 acres at LeBreton Flats," it said. "Both parties can proceed with next steps in the project. These include zoning, design and approvals, as well as decontamination of the land parcels to prepare for construction," it went on to say. The two sides reached an agreement in principle on the project last September. The Senators have been working on their next arena for several years. More to come.

(Jeffrey T. Barnes/AP Photo) The Ottawa Senators are expecting more buzz inside Canadian Tire Centre on game days next season, as the club's first playoff appearance in eight years has boosted season ticket sales. President and CEO Cyril Leeder told TSN 1200 Mornings with Steve Lloyd the club is expecting 1,700 to 2,000 new season tickets sold by the time the puck drops in October. 'We had a bump already yesterday on our season tickets. We sold 15-16 season tickets in a day, which is good in the middle of July,' Leeder said. 'We'll see another bump now as people were waiting to say, 'OK, there's the schedule, are there games I can get to? Can I put together a package?' Sens on Demand, those buyers will be able to make their game selections.' 'We will start the year significantly above last year's season ticket base. That's going to be good news for the fans; I think more energy in the building. Obviously, good news for us.' The Senators sold 600 new season seats in the spring ahead of the club clinching a playoff spot. The NHL released the 2025-26 season schedule for the Senators and all clubs on Wednesday. The Senators home opener is Monday, Oct. 13 against the Nashville Predators, and the club will wrap up the regular season against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Canadian Tire Centre on April 15. Leeder notes the Senators have an 'excellent holiday schedule,' with no World Junior Hockey Championship in Ottawa this year. The Senators play four games at home between Dec. 23 and Jan. 3, including New Year's Day against Washington. The Senators will also mark the 30th anniversary of the first Senators game at Canadian Tire Centre on Jan. 17 against Montreal. 'I can't give away all the details, but it's going to be a special night and a special celebration,' Leeder said. 'I would tell our fans that's a game they might want to circle and get their tickets for.'
