About the Event
Some of Ottawa’s most memorable connections happen outside the boardroom.
On Thursday, October 8, the Ottawa Senators return to Canadian Tire Centre for their first regular-season home game of 2026–27, taking on the Philadelphia Flyers.
It’s an opportunity to experience the energy of a new NHL season, support Ottawa’s home team, and share an evening with the people who make up our city’s business and professional community.
Expect an evening of NHL hockey and the atmosphere that comes with the start of a new season. Whether you’re attending with friends, colleagues, or business associates, the home opener is an occasion to be part of Ottawa’s wider community.
Why It Matters
A strong business community is also a connected city.
Showing up for local sports, cultural experiences, and shared community occasions creates opportunities to spend time with people outside our usual professional settings.
For organizations, an evening like this can become a chance to recognize a team, reconnect with a client, or simply enjoy an experience together without a formal business agenda.
Sometimes the connection is the opportunity.
Experience Outcome
An evening of professional hockey, shared city pride, and time spent with the people who matter to you.
The outcome isn’t a promised business lead or transaction. It’s the opportunity to strengthen a relationship, start a conversation, and create a shared memory that may carry into future interactions.

Decision Note
Great relationships aren’t built in meeting rooms alone.
A hockey game offers a different setting for connection. Shared anticipation, conversation between periods, and the energy of the crowd can make it easier to spend time together beyond the usual professional routine.
For Ottawa’s business community, the home opener is an opportunity to celebrate the city, reconnect with familiar faces, and strengthen relationships through a shared experience.
Not every worthwhile professional connection needs a formal agenda.
