OTTAWA – Canadian Tire Centre (@CdnTireCtr) is reminding media and fans that the venue will debut its upgraded security policy starting on Monday, Sept. 21, when the Senators host the Toronto Maple Leafs. The new policy remains in effect for all hockey games and events at Canadian Tire Centre from that point forward.
Beginning one week from today, Canadian Tire Centre will be introducing the use of magnetometers (walk-through metal detectors) to screen all fans as they enter the venue at all points of entry. By new league standards, magnetometers are mandatory for games in all National Hockey League venues starting in 2015-16 and in Ottawa they will remain in use for all non-hockey events and shows.
