Statement from Sheldon Plener, chairman and governor of the Ottawa Senators:
"Galatioto Sports Partners has been retained as financial advisor and a process has been initiated for the sale of the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club.
This was a necessary and prudent step to connect with those deeply interested parties who can show us what their vision is for the future of the team.
A condition of any sale will be that the team remains in Ottawa.
The organization will have no further comment on this process at this time."
