What's Happening?
The Ottawa Senators have announced the return of the Sens Student Army for the upcoming hockey season. This initiative offers exclusive ticket deals to students from various post-secondary institutions, including College La Cite, Algonquin College, Carleton University, University of Ottawa, and Queens University. The program aims to engage students with special game nights and contests, providing them with unique experiences at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Sens will also participate in the Panda Game on October 5th at TD Place, where students can learn more about the program.
Why It's Important?
The revival of the Sens Student Army is significant as it strengthens the connection between the Ottawa Senators and the local student community. By offering affordable access to games and exclusive events, the Senators are fostering a new generation of hockey fans. This initiative not only boosts attendance at games but also enhances the team's community engagement efforts. Students benefit from the opportunity to enjoy professional hockey at a reduced cost, while the Senators gain increased support and enthusiasm from a younger demographic.
What's Next?
Students can look forward to upcoming themed game nights, including a breaking the ice event on October 23rd and a Student Appreciation Night, with the date yet to be announced. The Senators will continue to promote these events through their social media channels, ensuring students stay informed about opportunities to participate and win contests. The program's success could lead to further expansion and more tailored events for students in the future.
