Ottawa 67's Arena Name: Scotiabank Place |

| Scotiabank Place |

| What was the Arena Like? |
| Scotiabank Place opened as the Ottawa Palladium in 1996, as the Ottawa Senators cleared out their temporary home sharing with the 67's at the Civic Centre. Much like the Air Canada Centre, Scotiabank Place has only ever been a rare home for the OHL, with both the 67's and the St. Michael's Majors playing home games there. Back during the College Arena years, the Majors, who share an owner with the Senators, played all their "home" games against Ottawa at SBP in an effort to make money. In addition, the 67's have played the odd game there over the years, including one a few years ago in which they attempted, successfully, to set a new CHL attendance record. I haven't been to a game at Scotiabank Place, but I have seen the place from the outside. It's a huge pinkish building surounded by parking lots, still located in the middle of nowhere in spite of twelve years of development pushing west from Ottawa. Attending a game there is definitely on my future "to-do" list. |
