Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk passes away
Some sad news to report from the hockey world on Monday night. The Ottawa Senators have announced that team owner, Eugene Melnyk, has passed away at the age of 62 following a lengthy illness.
"Eugene's love of hockey led him to establish Capital Sports & Entertainment in 2003, which owns and operates the NHL's Ottawa Senators hockey club. The company and its affiliates also own and operate the Canadian Tire Centre arena and manage Sensplex properties in Ottawa. Eugene never wavered in his desire and commitment to bring the Stanley Cup to the nation's capital. Under his ownership, the Senators played in the 2007 Stanley Cup finals and the Conference Finals in 2017. Eugene was confident the current team of talented players and coaching staff that he and his organization built will challenge for and eventually deliver on that championship promise." Part of the Senators' statement said.
Our thoughts are with the entire Melnyk family, as well as the Ottawa Senators organization.
It is with great sadness that the family of Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Senators hockey organization announce his passing on March 28, 2022 after an illness he faced with determination and courage. https://t.co/MrHsTvu7sz pic.twitter.com/DOZrJcD26e— Ottawa Senators (@Senators) March 29, 2022
