It opened in January 1996 as The Palladium and was also known as Corel Centre from 1996 to 2006 and Scotiabank Place from 2006 to 2013. The Ottawa Senators play hockey here.

On June 23, 2022, a proposal was accepted that would build a new arena in the LeBreton Flats area of downtown Ottawa. The arena will replace the Canadian Tire Centre as the new home arena for the Senators when it's built.[7]
