OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators (@Senators) are proud to introduce the Rideau Carleton Casino, future home of Hard Rock Casino Ottawa, as the Official Casino of the Ottawa Senators. As two of the biggest entertainment organizations in the city, there is no better fit to energize the atmosphere at Canadian Tire Centre.

The Hard Rock Club will offer 1,500 square-feet of bar, music memorabilia and activation space to take in all the Ottawa Senators game action.

Senators fans can also expect activations both at Canadian Tire Centre and Rideau Carleton Casino throughout the season including live entertainment, afternoon game shuttles, viewing parties and much more.

“The Hard Rock brand believes in creating a strong synergy within the communities of its properties. Knowing our customers in Ottawa, we’ve learned that the Ottawa Senators are a strong focus and passion here in the community. As Ottawa’s only casino, partnering with Ottawa’s hockey team is a perfect match. We are excited to contribute to the overall entertainment experience for Sens fans,” said Craig Clark, future president of Hard Rock Ottawa.
