In May 2024, the Ottawa Senators hired Travis Green to be the team's next head coach. Some people may have seen the hire of Green as a surprise, but he delivered in his first season behind the bench.
Green guided the Senators to the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Green's Senators had rough stretches over the course of last season, but showed resilience and played their best hockey when they needed to in order to make the 2025 playoffs. In the end, Green finished sixth in Jack Adams voting in 2025.
As the 2025-26 season is under one month away from starting, excitement is buzzing throughout the city of Ottawa with the Senators eager to be a consistent playoff team.
