Remembering Harley: Graveside memorial service honours homeless Hantsport man’s life | SaltWireThe winningest goaltender in franchise history pulled on his legendary No. 41 jersey one last time Tuesday at the Canadian Tire Centre after signing a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Ottawa Senators.
Anderson, 42, accompanied by general manager Pierre Dorion was part of a signing ceremony in the morning at the rink and was accompanied by his family for a ceremonial puck drop before the Senators hosted the Buffalo Sabres at the Canadian Tire Centre on Tuesday night. “I feel like when things happen, you make adjustments, you reflect and my year was the way it was supposed to be.”
Anderson spent 10 years in the club’s net after being acquired from the Colorado Avalanche by the late Bryan Murray in Feb., 2011 in exchange for Brian Elliott. Looking to solve the club’s goaltending issues, Murray wanted to see what Anderson could accomplish and it was a match made in heaven. Anderson said his last year in Colorado was so bad he feared that his career may be over and the Senators saved him.
Those are pretty impressive numbers for a guy who had to battle the odds to make it to the NHL in the first place. Originally selected by the Calgary Flames No. 77 overall in 1999, he wasn’t signed and re-entered the draft in 2001 before being selected by the Chicago Blackhawks.
