Senators need deal on downtown arena next month

The Ottawa Senators are coming down to crunch time in a bid to build a downtown arena on a preferred piece of land.

Senators president Cyril Leeder said at a season-ticket-holder event on Thursday that a memorandum of understanding with the National Capital Commission expires on Sept. 20.

The Crown corporation owns the LeBreton Flats land, where the Senators hope to build a new arena.

Leeder said negotiations continue as the two sides hope to hammer out a deal to get construction going.

Leeder said the team expects to make an announcement on LeBreton plans before the end of next month.

The current MOU was signed in 2022, before current owner Michael Andlauer bought the Senators.

The Senator play at Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, well outside the city core.
