Ruszkowski Steps Down as COO

For the third time since January of 2017, the Ottawa Senators will look for a new Chief Operating Officer.

As if needing to fill the vacant positions of head coach and President of Hockey Operations weren’t daunting enough tasks, Nicolas Ruszkowski is resigning from his position with the Ottawa Senators. Eugene Melnyk’s right-hand man, who has held the position for about a year like predecessor Tom Anselmi, will stay with the team in an advisory role for the rest of the summer before leaving the Senators.

Ruszkowski was maligned by a section of the fanbase for his attempts to smooth over the team’s public relations.
