CSDI is proposing to build an NHL hockey arena and events venue surrounded by mixed-use development, located on Albert Street between Preston Street and ...

But that plan fell apart in 2019 amid legal wrangling between the partners, forcing the NCC to go back to the drawing board. “My concerns would be about what we do with the current arena and the infrastructure investment made around it, including dedicated transit, roads and business investment nearby that is dependent on events there,” he added. While CSDI elaborates on its concept and creates an implementation plan, the NCC and CSDI will work toward signing a long-term lease agreement by the fall of 2023. “It is exciting to see that there is a potential for a new arena at Lebreton Flats; this will be a chance to bring Ottawa into the 21st century with a centrally located arena, accessible by transit and supporting local businesses,” said Toon Dreessen, president of Ottawa-based Architects DCA and past-president of the Ontario Association of Architects, in reaction to the news. “Today’s announcement marks a significant move toward our long-term vision, a downtown arena at LeBreton Flats,” said Anthony LeBlanc, president of business operations with the Ottawa Senators, on behalf of CSDI. “We believe that this development will have a major impact on both the National Capital Region and our franchise, one that will help to shape the future of the city.” “This is another important step in the implementation of our Building LeBreton plan: the start of an incredibly exciting and transformative city-building project that will become a landmark and major destination in the National Capital Region. We look forward to working with the team at CSDI to bring this major event centre to life,” said Tobi Nussbaum, NCC CEO, in a news release announcing the MOU.

Of course, the Senators have been this far along the path to LeBreton before. A different plan, with the Senators focused on their little corner of the pie, nothing more. How confident are the Senators and the NCC that this plan will actually come off? It’s important to note that it was Melnyk who put the team’s name back in the running for LeBreton before he passed in March. Melnyk’s daughters Anna and Olivia along with a board of directors currently operate the franchise. “If you look at the facilities being built currently, particularly in urban areas, those days of having acres and acres of thousands of parking spots around the facility are gone,” LeBlanc said. Crowe said that the new NHL rinks provide a basis for comparison. And the answer, always, was yes.” In the end, the Senators expect to be playing hockey where they belong -- at a central location, close to transit stations. That is expected by the fall of 2023.
