Nepean Sportsplex and the Steve Yzerman Arena

Nepean Sportsplex opened in 1973 as a central facility for the former City of Nepean. In 1997 its 2,200-seat arena was named the Steve Yzerman Arena, recognizing Steve Yzerman of the Detroit Red Wings, who played for the Nepean Raiders in his youth.

The complex goes well beyond hockey. Alongside two NHL-size rinks it has an athletics centre and gym, baseball, soccer and football fields, four squash courts, convention space, swimming pools, lawn bowling, 10 curling sheets and the Foyer Gallery, an artist-run exhibition space. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic it was the site of Ottawa's first mass vaccination clinic.

The Steve Yzerman Arena is home to the Nepean Raiders of the Central Canada Hockey League and the Nepean Jr. Wildcats of the Ontario Women's Hockey League. The building hosted the 1992 Ontario Tankard men's curling championship and eight games of the 2013 IIHF Women's World Championship, and the arena's largest crowd came on April 22, 2012, for Game 4 of the Bogart Cup Final.
