Before he became the associate coach of the Ottawa Senators, Marc Crawford wanted to co-own the OHL franchise in his hometown.
Today, he’d just be happy to see the organization he now works for put its AHL team there.
Mind you, neither Crawford nor anybody else will specifically comment on the Senators’ plan to relocate their top farm club from Binghamton to Belleville until all the red tape is cleared, mostly because there’s still a chance it could get shot down. Never is there a sure thing when politicians are involved, and if this isn’t one the Senators do not want to alienate their loyal fans in upstate New York.
