Wintersport in Ottawa

Ottawa Winter Sports

Ottawa’s winter sports landscape is anchored by the Canadian Tire Centre, home to the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, and the multi-pad Bell Sensplex training facility. The region also features historical rinks like the Barbara Ann Scott Arena, named for the 1948 Olympic figure skating champion. Beyond hockey, a dense network of curling clubs in surrounding communities like Metcalfe, Russell, and Vankleek Hill provides specialized ice for the sport, reflecting a deep-rooted local tradition in both professional and recreational ice sports.
