About Rideau Canal Skateway Fan Experience
The world's largest naturally frozen skating rink, the Rideau Canal is where Ottawa sports fans burn energy between playoff games and CFL matches in winter. The BeaverTails pastry stands along the canal are as much a part of Ottawa sports culture as any arena. During NHL playoff weeks the canal sees fan groups skating in team jerseys even at midnight.

Things to Do
ByWard Market Fan District
Ottawa's oldest and most colorful neighborhood, ByWard Market, is lined with pubs and restaurants that fill with Senators and Redblacks fans on game days. The Château Laurier hotel nearby adds a grand backdrop to the pre-match ritual. Beaver Tails, poutine, and Canadian craft beer are the fuel of the ByWard game day experience.
Things to Do
Ottawa Hockey Heritage Tour
Ottawa is the birthplace of organised hockey in Canada and guided heritage tours visit the Rideau rinks, the original Governor General's Cup donation site, and the National Archives' hockey collections. The tours contextualise how Canada's capital exported hockey to the world in the 1890s. For hockey history fans, this is a genuinely foundational sporting pilgrimage.
Things to Do
ByWard Market Walk
Ottawa's vibrant ByWard Market district buzzes with restaurants, patios, and bars — where Senators fans eat, drink, and celebrate steps from the arena.
Things to Do
Canadian Tire Centre Fan Zone
The outdoor plaza and concourse surrounding Canadian Tire Centre transforms into a lively fan zone hours before Ottawa Senators home games, with live music, food trucks, merchandise pop-ups, and the unmistakable energy of 18,000 hockey fans converging. The tailgate culture here is distinctly Canadian — poutine vendors, craft beer tents, and endless hockey debate in biting cold air. It's the essential warm-up ritual for any first-time Senators game.
