The Ottawa Senators could be playing hockey at LeBreton Flats in five years at the earliest, said the club’s president, Cyril Leeder. The hockey club announced
it was thinking of relocating to a downtown location last December. Based on past examples of professional arena and stadium developments, Leeder said it could take anywhere from five to 10 years to relocate the Senators to LeBreton Flats.

“In Ottawa, (residents) wanted to build a new football stadium and there seemed to be just about unanimous approval that we needed to rebuild Lansdowne Park and that took us eight years,� said Leeder. “In one sense you can make an argument that that’s about as good as it’s going to get, or as quick as it’s going to get.� The Edmonton Oilers just went through the process of securing a site for their new arena, and it is expected to be ready in 10 years since the project was started, Leeder said. “It’s certainly at least five years and it’s probably a five to 10 year window before you are actually (finished),� he said. “Certainly five, and probably even closer to 10.� Previously, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley had estimated the time frame to be closer to 10 to 15 years, with other councillors suggesting longer. See LRT, page 2
