The Senators practiced today in front of a sea of white. The seats were covered with 20,000 towels in preparation for the celebration taking place at the Canadian Tire Centre in mere hours.
A total of 112 goals, 136 assists, 248 points, nearly 2,500 penalty minutes and 1000 games. That’s what Chris Neil will bring with him when he steps on the ice tonight as a team, an organization, a league and a city commemorate his many achievements in a pre-game ceremony.
Neil stood in front of one of the biggest scrums of the season today after the morning skate.
