The Ottawa 67’s will play the first round of the 2022-23 J. Ross Robertson Cup playoffs from the Slush Puppie Centre in Gatineau, Quebec, the team announced today.
Ottawa will call Gatineau home for their first, and second home games, and third if necessary, before returning to The Arena at TD Place for a potential Game 7.
The move comes as The Arena at TD Place hosts the World Men’s Curling Championships, from April 1 to April 9.
The newly-built Slush Puppie Centre, home of the QMJHL’s Gatineau Olympiques, will serve as the site of 67’s home games throughout the first round of the postseason, before returning home to The Arena at TD Place for Rounds Two through Four.
The 67’s would like to thank Vision Multisports Outaouais inc., owner and manager of the Centre, as well as the Gatineau Olympiques for their hospitality, and look forward to an exciting week of junior hockey in Gatineau.
Further details will be announced in the weeks to come.
The 67’s will take on the Olympiques in a home-and-home series this week, beginning Thursday night at The Arena at TD Place and wrapping up Saturday at the Slush Puppie Centre.
