Bell Sensplex, Multi-purpose hockey arena in Ontario, Canada.
Bell Sensplex is an ice hockey complex in the Kanata area of Ottawa, Ontario, built around four separate ice surfaces under one roof. The facility includes locker rooms, spectator seating, and training areas that serve competitions, practice sessions, and public skating throughout the year.
The complex opened in December 2004 to meet a growing demand for training and competition space for ice hockey in the Ottawa area. Over the years it became a central point for the sport across the wider capital region.
