The arena is primarily used for ice hockey, serving as the home arena of the National Hockey League's Ottawa Senators since its opening in 1996, and as a temporary home for the OHL's Ottawa 67's during renovations at its arena. The arena is also used regularly for music concerts. It has hosted events such as the CIS Men's basketball championship. ==History== As part of its bid to land a NHL franchise for Ottawa, Terrace Corporation unveiled the original proposal for the arena development at a press conference in September 1989. The proposal included a hotel and 20,500 seat arena, named The Palladium on , surrounded by a mini-city, named "West Terrace". The site itself, of farmland, on the western border of Kanata, had been acquired in May 1989 by Terrace. The large site had previously been a possible location for a new home for the Central Canada Exhibition, but the Exhibition's option on the property had expired. The site was farmland and required a rezoning to proceed with construction. The then-City of Kanata supported the rezoning, but the provincial government and some local residents opposed the rezoning, forcing public hearings into the proposal by the Ontario Municipal Board. Rezoning approval was granted by the Board on August 28, 1991, with conditions. The conditions imposed by the board included a scaling down of the arena to 18,500 seats, a moratorium on development outside the initial arena site, and that the cost of the highway interchange with highway 417 be paid by Terrace. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in June 1992 but actual construction did not start until July 7, 1994. The two-year period was used seeking financing for the site and interchange by Terrace Corporation. The corporation received a $6 million grant from the federal government, but needed to borrow to pay for the rest of the costs of construction. On August 17, 1993, Bruce Firestone, the Senators owner, was replaced by Rod Bryden, a former high tech tycoon, who assumed control of Terrace Corporation. Bryden managed to borrow enough to pay for the $188 million project〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ottawa Senators History )〕 through a consortium of U.S. banks and Ogden Entertainment, but could not find financing for the highway interchange. Only after the provincial government provided a loan guarantee for the highway interchange financing did construction proceed. Actual construction took 18 months, finishing in January 1996. The Palladium opened on January 15, 1996 with a concert by Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. The first NHL game took place two days later, with the Montreal Canadiens defeating the Senators 3-0. On February 17, 1996, the name 'Palladium' was changed to the 'Corel Centre', when Corel Corporation, an Ottawa software company, signed a 10-year deal for the naming rights. When mortgage holder Covanta Energy (the former Ogden Entertainment) went into receivership in 2001, Terrace was expected to pay off the whole debt. The ownership was not able to refinance the arena, eventually leading to Terrace itself declaring bankruptcy in 2003. However, on August 26, 2003, billionaire businessman Eugene Melnyk finalized the purchase of the Senators and the arena.〔 The arena and club became solely owned by Melnyk through a new company, Capital Sports Properties. In 2004, the ownership applied to expand its seating. The City of Ottawa amended its by-laws in December 2004 and in 2005, the venue was allowed to increase its seating capacity to 19,153 and total attendance to 20,500 when including standing room.〔 Also in 2005, the arena became home to the ''Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame'', with a display on the second-floor concourse. Information of over 200 inductees is detailed on individual plaques. The exhibit display had previously been located at the Ottawa Civic Centre since 1967.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About us )〕 The space is donated by Scotiabank Place. In 2011, it was announced that the Hall of Fame exhibit will be moving to permanent space at the Heritage Building of Ottawa City Hall. On January 19, 2006, the arena became known as Scotiabank Place after reaching a new 15 year naming rights agreement with Canadian bank Scotiabank on January 11, 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scotiabank Place )〕 In 2012, Scotiabank Place hosted the 2012 NHL All-Star Game and installed a new high-definition scoreboard. From 2012 through 2014, the arena was also a temporary home for the Ottawa 67's, due to renovations occurring at TD Place Arena. On June 18, 2013, the Ottawa Senators announced that it had sold naming rights to the arena to Canadian Tire: the arena was officially renamed Canadian Tire Centre on July 1, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Name Change For Scotiabank Place )〕 In December 2014, Senators Sports and Entertainment submitted one of four bids to the NCC for the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats in downtown Ottawa. The proposal includes a new NHL arena along with other mixed uses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Tire Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
