On Thursday, Ottawa's National Capital Commission will get an update on the LeBreton development, which is expected to include a potential NHL arena. Are the Ottawa Senators actually getting closer to a new arena? HockeyScanner explains.
But here’s the thing. The NCC, better known in these parts for sitting on its hands, has long been wanting to do something “bold” and grand with that land, rather than a piecemeal development on a smaller scale, with condos, green space and commerce.
That much hasn’t changed. Melnyk’s death last week only enhances the probability of a new arena downtown because of the new range of possibilities regarding ownership and future business partnerships. This just in: One week after Melnyk’s passing, the Senators and OSEG have joined forces to submit a bid to host the 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships. It’s a whole new world, people. That Sens-OSEG partnership, which submitted the bid to Hockey Canada Tuesday, was a last-second shift away from a proposed joint bid with Quebec City, a liaison that fell apart when a story leaked in La Presse about the Senators planning to play five regular season games in QC next season.
As much as other potential bidders may have great ideas, we repeat, the Senators have the ace in the hole – the NHL team as a tenant.• NHL under commissioner Gary Bettman wants the Senators to thrive in a more central location in a new building to replace a 26-year-old facility in Kanata.• Whatever shape the new ownership takes will want to be downtown.
