About the Canadian Tire Centre
The Canadian Tire Centre (Centre Canadian Tire in French) is a multi-purpose arena in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. Its doors opened on January 15, 1996, under the name Palladium, with a Bryan Adams concert. The name Corel Centre followed, used until 2006, and then Scotiabank Place, used until 2013. The Canadian Tire Corporation bought the naming rights in 2013, and the arena was renamed on July 1 of that year.
The arena grew out of a bid for an NHL franchise for Ottawa. In September 1989, Terrace Corporation presented the original plan: a hotel plus an arena for 20,500 spectators, called the Palladium, on 100 acres inside a 500-acre mini-city. The land was 600 acres of farmland. Its design and seating bowl drew heavily on The Palace of Auburn Hills (opened in 1988), and Detroit-based Rossetti Architects designed both buildings. Rezoning was approved on August 28, 1991, on conditions that included cutting the arena to 18,500 seats.
Although a groundbreaking ceremony took place in June 1992, building work only started on July 7, 1994, and lasted 18 months. The whole project cost CA$188 million. Two days after the opening, the Montreal Canadiens won the first NHL game there, 3–0 over the Senators, in front of 18,500 fans, a sellout. Ice hockey is the main use of the arena, and the Senators have called it home since 1996. It was also the site of the 2012 NHL All-Star Game.
