The Ottawa Senators:
The Ottawa Senators, based in Ottawa, Ontario, play their home games at the Canadian Tire Centre, which holds a capacity of 20,500. This franchise is the second to bear the Senators name, with the original team founded in 1883 and boasting 11 Stanley Cup victories. After a successful campaign, the NHL granted Ottawa a new franchise in 1990, which began play in the 1992–93 season. The Senators have a rich history of competitive play, qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs in fourteen of the last seventeen seasons, and enjoy a loyal fanbase known as the Sens Army.
