OTTAWA — Any changes the new owner of the Ottawa Senators will make will be through the lens of the fan. And that includes building a new arena.
OTTAWA — Any changes the new owner of the Ottawa Senators will make will be through the lens of the fan.With a champagne toast, billionaire Michael Andlauer was officially introduced as the new owner of the Ottawa Senators Friday at the Canadian Tire Centre in front of team employees, Senators alumni , other members of team's new ownership group, and media.
Ottawa’s arena is currently located in Kanata, a city suburb about a 25-minute drive from the city’s downtown core. It has often been a sticking point with fans, with little else located nearby. “The mayor wants it . The NCC wants it. The fans want it. We’re all pointed in the same direction, it’s a matter of collaborating and seeing what works.”
Bettman said the process to sell the Senators — which lasted 321 days — was not unlike any other the league has seen. What was different with Ottawa, he explained, was the untimely death of Melnyk. That prompted Day 1 interest in what was to happen next and resulted in plenty of speculation.
