The original Ottawa Senators were founded in 1883 and were one of the NHL’s dominant early dynasties, winning 11 Stanley Cups before the franchise relocated in 1934. The current Senators honor that historic legacy in name and identity.
In 1905, the legendary "Silver Seven" celebrated a title by attempting to kick the Stanley Cup across the frozen Rideau Canal. It spent the night on the ice before being rescued the next morning.
The Senators reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2007, marking the most significant playoff run in the modern franchise’s history.
