I am a Canadian historian studying at UBC and currently living in Ottawa ON. who grew up watching and playing hockey. I write about the Ottawa Senators, past and present, for The Hockey Writers. I think fancy stats are great. Also a huge soccer and Rugby fan.

What Senators Are World Cup Bound?

What Senators Are World Cup Bound?

February 23rd, 2016 For some members of the Ottawa Senators, March 1st is a much more important deadline than February 29th. While the 29th is the NHL's Trade Deadline, guys like Bobby Ryan and Mika Zibanejad know that they are staying in Ottawa for the long-term. However, on March 1st, they will find out if they get a chance to represent their country...
Ottawa Senators' Cody Ceci Conundrum

Ottawa Senators' Cody Ceci Conundrum

February 16th, 2016 Cody Ceci is the perfect poster boy for the Ottawa Senators. Not only did he grow up in Ottawa, he has been a life-long Senators fan and even was a youth participant in the 2003 Ottawa Senators' Skills Competition. The simple public relations value of showing a ten-year old Ceci standing next to former Senator Mike Fisher is almost...
The Ottawa Senators Trade Deadline Playbook

The Ottawa Senators Trade Deadline Playbook

February 9th, 2016 The Ottawa Senators' season is all but over. Sure, they still have 29 games left to play, but since returning from the All-Star Break, the Ottawa Senators have effectively played themselves out of contention in the Eastern Conference. When the puck dropped on their first game back against the Pittsburg Penguins the Senators were three...
Bobby Ryan And The Ryanaissance

Bobby Ryan And The Ryanaissance

January 27th, 2016 It isn't the McConaissance but for Ottawa fans, it might be even more important. After a massive trade in the summer of 2013 that saw Bobby Ryan come to Ottawa on the day Daniel Alfredsson left, expectations were sky-high for the 26-year-old winger. Taken second overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2005 NHL entry draft behind some guy...
The Ottawa Senators Need To Sell At The Trade Deadline

The Ottawa Senators Need To Sell At The Trade Deadline

January 26th, 2016 With the Ottawa Senators' win over the New York Rangers on Sunday afternoon, the Senators now sit three points out of a wild-card spot and four points out of third in the Atlantic Division. Given that at this point last season Ottawa was ten points out of a playoff spot, many fans will argue that there are plenty of reasons for optimism....
3 Ottawa Senators Who Should Be Binghamton Bound

3 Ottawa Senators Who Should Be Binghamton Bound

January 18th, 2016 The Binghamton Senators are having a miserable season. With only 15 wins in 38 games, they sit last in the North Division and fourth last in the entire league. This is a team that needs help, most notably at center and on the blue line. Conversely, Ottawa also has a number of younger players who are struggling to develop into NHL caliber...
Giving Andrew Hammond a Helping Hand

Giving Andrew Hammond a Helping Hand

January 14th, 2016 Barring the team-wide disaster that was the Ottawa Senators' 7-1 loss to the Washington Capitals, Andrew Hammond has been a pleasant surprise for the Senators this year. While many commentators cast doubt on his suitability as an NHL level goalie - myself included - Hammond has so far this season been a quality back-up for Craig...
Kevin Shattenkirk Belongs In Ottawa

Kevin Shattenkirk Belongs In Ottawa

January 12th, 2016 Once again St. Louis Blues' All-Star defenseman and American Olympian Kevin Shattenkirk's name has popped up in trade rumors. Last summer, multiple reports linked the 26-year-old d-man to a number of teams, most prominently the Edmonton Oilers. Obviously, Shattenkirk wasn't traded and he remained in St. Louis, where he continues to...
