The Ottawa 67's will play the first round of the 2022-23 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) playoffs from the Slush Puppie Centre in Gatineau, the team announced on Feb. 7.
Should the team claim home ice advantage in the first round, Ottawa will call Gatineau home for their first, and second home games, and third if necessary, before returning to TD Place Arena for a potential game seven.
The move comes as TD Place Arena hosts the World Men's Curling Championships from April 1 to April 9.
The newly-built Slush Puppie Centre, home of the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), will serve as the site of 67's home games throughout the first round of the postseason, before returning home to TD Place Arena for rounds two through four.
Further details will be announced in the weeks to come.
The 67's will take on the Olympiques in a home-and-home series this week, beginning Thursday, Feb. 9 at TD Place Arena and wrapping up on Saturday. Feb. 11 at the Slush Puppie Centre.
