The Ottawa Senators; Ottawa's NHL hockey gladiators – chasing the hockey player’s dream every year, still falling short of the holy grail.
Named For Nation's Capital
The modern Ottawa Senators hockey club, reputedly named after the nation's capital and the fact that the Canadian Senate is located in Ottawa at the Parliament Buildings have been entertaining fans, if not bringing home the Stanley Cup, since 1992.

Mid-1990's
In the mid '90s, the Sens moved into the purpose built and comparatively palatial Palladium, which, over time was destined to become first the Corel Center, and in it's current incarnation as Scotiabank Place.
1000 Palladium Dr.
Kanata, Ontario, K2V 1A5
Phone: (613) 599-0250
Location
The Sen's home ice is about 27 kilometers (approx. 17 miles) west of Ottawa's Parliament Buildings located right off the 417 (Queensway). There are a couple of exits from the highway to the spacious parking areas.
OC Transpo is an excellent option for safe convenient travel to Scotiabank Place, and using the bus means you can avoid paying a parking fee.

Playoff Contenders
In their relatively short 17 season life span, the Sens have managed to reach the playoffs ten times, and earned four division championships.
The Ottawa Senators' farm team is the Binghampton Senators, and more information about them and the AHL can be found here .

The holy grail of hockey, the Stanley Cup , has evaded the modern Sens to this day.
Perhaps it's next season that we will finally see our team bringing the cup to Ottawa?
