The Ottawa Aces are a Canadian professional rugby league team based in Ottawa, Ontario. They will play their home matches out of TD Place Stadium.
History
It was first announced in March 2019 that a consortium from Canada, led by Toronto Wolfpack founder Eric Perez, had purchased the license of Rugby Football League member club Hemel Stags and planned to relocate their licence to Canada.[1]
More due diligence took place during 2019 to decide if the club was ready to join the 2020 League 1 competition along with the New York City Rugby League,[2] however at the end of July 2019 it was announced that the club would not enter the league in 2020 and will instead work towards joining the league in 2021.[3]
It was announced on 9 March 2020 that Ottawa Aces will play in the 2021 League 1 competition.[4]
Stadium
Ottawa will play their home games at TD Place Stadium which has an artificial turf surface and capacity of 24,000. The stadium is also used for Canadian football and soccer.
