As Canada's last team standing, Senators have chance to win over out-of-market fans

It’s in the heart of tobacco country, a place known more for BBQ and NASCAR than hockey and Zambonis, where you will find the unofficial president of the Ottawa Senators fan club.

Brad Fritsch grew up cheering for Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers. But when his family moved to Ottawa around 20 years ago, he bought a Daniel Alfredsson jersey and joined Sens Army. Today, the PGA Tour professional is living in Raleigh, N.C., but still finds plenty of time to cheer on his favourite hockey team.
