OTTAWA — At some point, Daniel Alfredsson could return to a front office position with an NHL team.
For now, though, Alfredsson says it’s time “to be a stay-at-home dad for awhile.”
Alfredsson, who abruptly resigned as the Ottawa Senators senior advisor of hockey operations in early July, says his focus is on becoming more involved in the daily lives of his four sons, including helping coach them in minor hockey.
Until Monday, the longtime Senators captain had been silent on his reasons for leaving the organization. After officially retiring as a player with the Senators in 2014, he had spent the past two seasons working closely with former general manager Bryan Murray, current general manager Pierre Dorion and assistant general manager Randy Lee.
