Massive announcement for the city of Ottawa regarding the Senators

The National Capital Commission announced Thursday that it has reached an agreement with the Ottawa Senators to build a new arena on LeBreton Flats.

The announcement is the first step for the Senators to finalize an agreement with the Crown corporation to build a new arena near the city's downtown core.

The team currently plays at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, a long way from downtown.

Therefore, the project of playing some Senators games in Quebec City in the next few years should necessarily fall through.
