The Ottawa Senators released their rosters for the 2017 rookie tournament, an annual event where the team’s young talent will compete against the prospects of other teams at Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum. The tournament will take place between September 8-10, with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montréal Canadiens also participating.
The roster is composed mostly of players expected to play in North America, as most international leagues will have begun by the time the tournament starts. Due to NCAA regulations, Shane Bowers, the Sens’ most recent first round draft selection, will not be in attendance (also prevented from joining are forwards Shane Eiserman and Todd Burgess, as well as defencemen Miles Gendron, Christian Wolanin and Kelly Summers).
