With the NLL playing in Kanata in front of the limited 7k crowd, the PWHL looking for a new home, and an NHL rink being a bit too large, and the City replacing the nearly 10k Civic Centre with a smaller arena, I wonder if there's an opportunity for the Sens to renovate the Palladium into a 10k arena once the Sens move to LeBreton.
There's a lot of talk (from the City, the Mayor and Hubley in particular) about how Kanata will lose its soul. Keeping the arena as a sports venue for smaller leagues and building up the parking lots into a "Lansdowne 3.0", if you will, might be the way to go. Maybe they could use the extra space for community sports/community centre.
The Sens ownership could also consider moving the AHL team to Kanata. That seems fairly common in the NHL.
