It has been a somewhat frustrating period for Ottawa Senators fans as they had to deal with the team cutting ties with one of the community’s largest foundations as well as losing a key member of the Sens organization who truly knew how to connect with the fans, Craig Medaglia. Furthermore, a bizarre war started between the Sens owner Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Sun which started with what Melnyk calls “false accusations” about the Sens Foundation’s ability to operate and The Organ Project’s $5,000 donation. Melnyk went as far as threatening litigation against the Sun even after they posted an apology and retraction, citing that the damages done to him personally were irreversible.
