Ottawa Civic Centre
Encyclopedia : O : OT : OTT : Ottawa Civic Centre
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) and the Ottawa Civics of the WHA (1976).
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.
Besides sports, the arena has been home to many political conventions, namely federal leadership races. Also, during the summer, the Ottawa Ex holds exhibits, a petting zoo, and stores inside it.
