It will be the future home of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL) and part of a mixed-use development slated for the area.

[1] The ice hockey club Ottawa Senators of the NHL was established in 1992.

Finally, in December 2018, the NCC ended its agreement with RendezVous LeBreton Group allowing for a grace period if a settlement could be reached.

[1][6][7] On September 20, 2024 the NCC sold a little over 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land in LeBreton Flats to Capital Sports Development Inc with the plan to develop the area including a new arena for the Senators.

[8] In 2023 the Mayor of Ottawa Mark Sutcliffe indicated that other locations remained under consideration, and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman acknowledged that the decision process was ongoing even after the preliminary deal signing for LeBreton Flats.
