The Canadian Tire Centre, formerly known as the Corel Centre as well as Scotiabank Place, has been home to the NHL’s Ottawa Senators since 1996. With it’s somewhat inconvenient location in Ottawa’s suburb of Kanata, the Ottawa Senators are currently exploring their options in building an arena closer to downtown Ottawa. In the meantime, our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Canadian Tire Centre seating chart to help hockey fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Ottawa Senators tickets.
Where To Sit At The Canadian Tire Centre
The Canadian Tire Centre is a very symmetrical arena whose layout mirrors that of most NHL arenas. A lower level, club seating on the second level, and an upper level. The Canadian Tire Centre also has more premium seating options than the average NHL arena. We’ll begin by discussing the lower level seats closest to the ice.

The lower level seats at the Canadian Tire Centre consist of sections 101 through 120. The rows for the lower level sections are lettered A through S. The Ottawa Senators use the bench in front of section 105 while the visiting team uses the bench in front of section 107.
