NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was optimistic about the vision of a centrally located arena becoming reality for the Ottawa Senators following a day packed with meetings, tours and discussions.
Bettman said progress was made with the Senators’ recent letter of intent with the National Capital Commission regarding the LeBreton Flats site, a prime location near Ottawa’s downtown core."There are a lot more steps that have to be taken, and nobody should get too far ahead of themselves,” said Bettman."But there are a lot of things that have to come together to make this work and nobody, again, should jump ahead and presume that it requires any one additional thing.
He says people need to understand that a project of this magnitude has numerous layers involved. There will be provincial and municipal government involvement, the need for the business community’s support, as well as the overall vision by the Senators ownership group. This isn’t the first time Bettman has discussed the potential of a downtown arena for the Senators but credited the new ownership of Michael Andlauer as a key factor in things moving forward this time around.
