OTTAWA — Travis Green says he is a firm, approachable and detail-oriented coach. The Ottawa Senators are banking on those qualities to make an impression on their young and talented roster.
Green was announced as the Senators' new head coach Tuesday after a selection process that included discussions with half a dozen candidates. He will be tasked with fostering a culture of accountability in Ottawa.
"I think Travis fits the mould of the culture we’re trying to create here," said Andlauer."I keep on reiterating we’re in the people business and the ones that are going to care more and work harder in this competitive landscape are going to be the winners."Although the 53-year-old Green does not have a winning record as head coach, or a wealth of NHL playoff success, he evidently impressed Staios enough to secure the job and a four-year contract.
“I think I’m just a better coach from experience,” said Green when asked how different he was from the coach first hired by Vancouver in 2017. Green takes over from Jacques Martin, who took over from Smith on an interim basis. Martin will remain as an adviser.
