The Ottawa Senators' AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators, have been the AHL affiliate since the 2017-18 season. The distance between Ottawa and Belleville is around 2.5 hours apart from each city.
Today, a huge announcement was made for Belleville.
Belleville agrees to new lease
It was announced that Belleville owner Michael Andlauer and the city of Belleville agreed on a new three-year lease extension. The new lease will keep Belleville playing in the city until at least the 2029-30 season.
The new lease means Belleville will continue to call the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre its home, which includes the priority use of CAA Arena's ice surface, dressing room and team office facilites.
