Team business

Contents

On May 19, 2011, the Ottawa Senators were awarded the Ottawa United Way Community Builder of the Year Award for over $60 million in charitable fund-raising in the past ten years, support of youth hockey and the founding of the "Do It For Daron" initiative for mental health in honour of Daron Richardson, the daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson who took her own life in November 2010.[2] On May 20, 2011, the Senators announced the "Rink of Dreams" project to build a outdoor skating rink at Ottawa City Hall. The rink is to cost $1.25 million, $1 million of which would be funded by the Senators Foundation charity.[3]

2012 NHL All-Star Game

The Senators will be the host of the 2012 NHL All-Star Game in January 2012. The Ottawa Convention Centre will be used for fan activities. The Rideau Canal, weather permitting, will be used for outdoor events, and some Winterlude activities will be rescheduled for the All-Star weekend.

Off-season

After firing Cory Clouston at the end of the 2010–11 Ottawa Senators season, the Senators began a search for a new head coach. According to media reports, Bryan Murray interviewed several candidates for the job, including: Kurt Kleinendorst (coach of the Binghamton Senators), Dave Cameron (coach of the Mississauga Ice Dogs), Craig MacTavish (former coach of the Edmonton Oilers), Paul MacLean, (assistant coach of the Detroit Red Wings) and Kirk Muller (assistant coach of the Montreal Canadiens). The Senators announced on June 14, 2011 that Paul MacLean was now the new head coach of the Senators and had signed a three-year deal.[4]

The Senators announced on June 23, 2011 that they have hired Dave Cameron and Mark Reeds as their new assistant coaches. Cameron was the head coach of the Ontario Hockey League's Mississauga St. Michael's Majors, a major junior hockey team that is owned by Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. Meanwhile, Reeds was the head coach of the Owen Sound Attack, also of the Ontario Hockey League.[5]

The Senators unveiled a new third jersey on October 1, 2011. The new third jersey replaces the 'SENS' design third jersey. The new jersey is mostly black, with horizontal red and 'off-white' stripes in a pattern reminiscent of the original Ottawa Senators jersey of 1926–27. The team will wear the jersey eleven times at home, and once on the road. The eleven corresponds to the number of Stanley Cup championships the original Senators won.

Pre-season

On June 22, 2011, the Senators announced that they would be playing seven games during the preseason. They will be play three games at home, three games on the road, and one neutral site game. The team will play divisional rivals Toronto, Montreal, and Boston twice each. Meanwhile, the Senators will also play Winnipeg once in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland, as part of the Kraft Hockeyville Celebrations.[6] The game was moved to Mile One Centre by Conception Bay South to maximize the use of arena upgrade dollars for renovations, instead of preparing their arena for the exhibition game.[7]

The Senators held a rookie camp in early September. The rookies participated in a rookie tournament in Oshawa, Ontario with rookies of the Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Toronto Maple Leafs. The team won all of its games in the tournament. All members of the rookie camp were invited to the main training camp, which started on September 16 at Scotiabank Place and the Bell Sensplex.[8]

Regular season

The Senators opened the season on October 7, 2011 at Detroit. The Senators finish the season on April 7, 2012. 81 of 82 games are televised, either on CBC, RDS, Sportsnet, TSN or TVA. The sole game not to be televised is a visit to the Florida Panthers on February 15, 2012.[9]

The Senators had their home opener on October 11, 2011 against the Minnesota Wild. As it is the team's 20th anniversary season since their return to the NHL, the Senators had special celebrations. The team introduced 14 members of the original 1992–93 team. The team's first captain, Laurie Boschman dropped the puck on the ceremonial face-off. The team went on to win the game 4–3 via shoot-out. It was head coach Paul MacLean's first win as a head coach in the NHL.[10]

Nikita Filatov, a 21-year-old Russian player (and former first-round pick) acquired in a trade at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, had an up and down season between Ottawa and Binghamton before being loaned to HC CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in December. Filatov will play in Moscow for the rest of the season. Filatov will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season, and Ottawa manager Murray indicated that the club had not given up on Filatov, and would put in at least a qualifying offer at season's end.[11]

Playoffs

The Senators will attempt a return to the playoffs after missing them in the 2010-11 season. The Hockey News predicts that the Senators will finish last in the Eastern Conference and miss the playoffs.[12]

Draft picks

The 2011 NHL Entry Draft was held in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Senators picked sixth overall with their own draft pick, and 21st overall with the first-round pick of the Nashville Predators, acquired in exchange for a 2011 trade of Mike Fisher. After picking 21st, the Senators traded their 35th and 48th overall picks (the later pick acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Chris Campoli) to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for the 24th overall pick. This marked the first time in franchise history that the Senators picked three times in the first round.
