Don’t look now but the Ottawa Senators are back in the business of building a new NHL arena just west of Parliament Hill in a mostly vacant area of land known as LeBreton Flats.

On Thursday, June 23, the National Capital Commission announced that it has reached a memorandum of understanding with Capital Sports Development Incorporated, a group led by the Ottawa Senators, to build a new arena at LeBreton Flats. 

The 2023 World Men’s Curling Championship will take place from April 1 until April 9 at TD Place, the World Curling Federation and Curling Canada announced on June 24. 

The National Capital Commission made the announcement during a board meeting on Thursday, June 23. 

The games will be hosted by the two winning Kraft Hockeyville communities of 2020 and 2021. 

A Twitter account was recently created by a few Ottawa Senators fans called 'Alfie To The Hall' which outlines all Alfredsson has done during his time with the Ottawa Senators. 

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. as the Ottawa Redblacks host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at TD Place.

Ottawa defensive back Sherrod Baltimore was fined for delivering a high hit on Winnipeg receiver Dalton Schoen during the Blue Bombers' 19-17 home victory Friday night.

The 25-year-old appeared in 63 games for the Senators last season, an NHL career-high, recording seven points on three goals and four assists, after being acquired in a trade with the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 24.

The jets will fly over the area just before 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 17.
