      Linus Ullmark speaks on his experiences with mental health in honour of Hockey Talks night

      Donation opportunities included 50/50 tickets, the option to round-up totals at concessions, and signed Mystery Pucks for purchase.

      Prior to the game, the Senators took part in a ceremonial puck drop with Luke and Stephanie Richardson, founders of DIFD, Rebecca Leslie, forward for the Ottawa Charge and childhood friend of Daron Richardson who DIFD was inspired by, as well as Sandy McDonald, Regional Director, Community Affairs from Bell.

      Senators’ captain Brady Tkachuk joined Capitals’ defenceman Jakob Chychrun at centre ice for the ceremonial face off. Chychrun, a former Senator returning to Canadian Tire Centre for the first time, is the cousin of Daron Richardson.

      Thanks to the support shown at last night’s game, the Senators Community Foundation was able to donate over $40,000 in support of youth mental health.
