Canadian Tire Centre (French: Centre Canadian Tire) is a multi-purpose arena in the suburb of Kanata in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It opened in January 1996 as the Palladium and was also known as Corel Centre (French: Centre Corel) from 1996 to 2006 and Scotiabank Place (French: Place Banque Scotia) from 2006 to 2013.
The arena is primarily used for ice hockey, serving as the home arena of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL) since its opening in 1996, as well as the home arena of the Ottawa Black Bears of the National Lacrosse League since 2024. The arena formerly served as the temporary home for the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League from 2012 to 2014 during renovations at TD Place Arena.
