Ottawa Civic Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ottawa Civic Centre is an indoor arena located in Ottawa, Ontario. It is the current home of the Ottawa 67's of the OHL and is the former home of the Ottawa Senators of the NHL (1992-1995), the Ottawa Nationals of the WHA (1972-1973), the Ottawa Civics of the WHA (1976), and the Ottawa Rebel of the NLL (2002-2003).
Completed in 1968, the arena seats 9,862. It is rather oddly shaped, being located adjacent to Frank Clair Stadium - one side of the arena is actually located beneath the upper part of the stadium grandstand, with the result that it has a much lower ceiling than the opposite side of the arena.
The first major event hosted in the Civic Centre was the Liberal Party of Canada leadership convention in April 1968. During the summer, the Ottawa Ex holds exhibits, a petting zoo, and stores inside it.
