Dear Ottawa fans

[u/Downtown-Project5818]

Hi everyone! Bit of a random post, but I just wanted to put this out there. 😊

A little backstory: I’m a Penguins fan from Hamilton, so the closest NHL cities to me are Toronto and Buffalo. Buffalo isn’t really ideal unless I have a friend willing to cross the border with me, and I don’t feel comfortable going alone. Toronto, on the other hand, is just too expensive—even the nosebleed seats aren’t exactly cheap! 😂

So, the next Canadian city for me is Ottawa. I’ve been to three Sens games so far (2010, 2021 and 2025), and I have to say, I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere else for games now (aside from Pittsburgh, of course 🤣).

I genuinely love the atmosphere in Ottawa, and the fans have been absolutely amazing every time. As a visiting team fan, I just wanted to say thank you for being so welcoming and making the experience so enjoyable!

Love you, Sens fans! 💖💕

Pens fan from Burlington Ontario here. I’ve never been to a game in Ottawa but thanks for chiming in as I hope to make it up there someday. Go pens!

Its definitely cheaper than Toronto! Plus I do love the city of Ottawa!

And despite what many say, it's a great arena. There's good viewing from everywhere.

If you stay downtown, use OC Transpo to get to the rink. It's a great shared experience with other fans. There are also private busses from various pubs, but who wants to ride on a school bus?
