When hockey fans arrive at Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place for the 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game and 2012 Molson Canadian NHL All-Star Skills Competition, one thing is for sure, there will be something on the menu to satisfy their cravings.

The culinary team at ARAMARK, the exclusive food and beverage service partner at Scotiabank Place, home of the Ottawa Senators, has created an “all-star” menu for Senators’ faithful and visiting guests.

Chefs from CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Verizon Center in Washington, DC and Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, will join Scotiabank Place Executive Chef Keith Jones to prepare signature sandwiches from their hometown arenas.

• Capital Beef Hoagie (Scotiabank Place) – Roasted top sirloin topped with St. Albert’s cheese curds and crispy fried onions on a crusty roll
• Kielbasa Grinder (CONSOL Energy Center) – Thin sliced kielbasa topped with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing served on an Italian roll

“On-the-ice, the All-Star Game will feature fans’ favorite players, while off-the-ice, the game will showcase favorite menu items from around the league,” said Executive Chef Jones. “I’m excited to have ARAMARK chefs from Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Pittsburgh in the kitchen, helping us create a menu filled with all-star sandwiches and Scotiabank Place’s signature tastes and flavors.”
