The short version
The Ottawa Senators' regional games stay on TSN under a long-term extension with Bell Media, and national games air on Sportsnet for English viewers and TVA Sports for French. The Senators' region crosses the river into Gatineau, so bilingual households use both English and French channels. Canada 4K IPTV includes all of them.

Why does Ottawa need both languages?
The Senators' fan base spans Ottawa and Gatineau. Many homes switch between TSN in English and TVA Sports in French, depending on who is watching.
Where is the arena?
The Canadian Tire Centre sits in Kanata, west of downtown. Plans for a downtown arena have been discussed for years; until it opens, Kanata is home.
