The NHL is coming to CAA Arena in Belleville, Ont. tomorrow night.
The home of the Belleville Senators, Ottawa’s AHL affiliate, will host the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs pre-season match-up in front of what is expected to be a capacity crowd.
The event sold out quickly, but fans can still take in the excitement on Sportsnet or on their local radio stations including Ottawa’s own TSN1200.
Fans who were lucky enough to obtain a ticket can expect a lot more than just NHL caliber action at CAA Arena.
The Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board Pre-Game Party starts at 5 pm in Parking Lot A and will feature a performance by the Impish Grins and ready-to-drink beverages served by Oak View Group. Once doors open, fans can head inside for a full offering of food and beverage concessions, in addition to having a chance to interact with the Ottawa Senators Street Crew, inside the Gate 1 courtyard.
On the ice, B-Sens fans can also expect to see many familiar faces especially in light of a strong contingent of Belleville alumni who have already started their respective NHL careers with the parent team.
