At a commemoration for the 2017 tragedy that saw six lives lost at a mosque in Quebec's capital, organizers called for bridges to be built with other communities, especially in the current political climate.

It was supposed to be a relatively quiet start to the week for the Ottawa Senators, and they had certainly earned it. The Senators are in third place in the Atlantic Division and finally had a day off after playing 10 games in 16 days.

Only one bullet hole remains in the wall of the Centre culturel islamique de Québec, 8 years after a gunman stormed into the mosque and killed six Muslim men who had come to pray.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia:

Michael Andlauer announced that his Ottawa Senators would be playing preseason games at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City. This will happen in a few months.

The weather may be in the single digits but there’s skating, vintage luxury shops, an ice hotel, a jazz bar to cozy up in. Not to mention tobogganing down a track at 45 mph.

The NHL will be back in Quebec City as the Ottawa Senators plan to play the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils during the pre-season.

The Montreal Canadiens will face the Ottawa Senators in an NHL preseason game Sept. 30 before the 2025-26 campaign. Ottawa will also face New Jersey on Sept. 28

Senators owner Michael Andlauer confirmed at a press conference in Quebec City on Monday that his club will spend four or five days in the area next fall as part of their training camp in September and host two exhibition games at the Videotron Centre.

The Ottawa Senators will spend part of their training camp and also play two preseason games in Quebec City next season, the team announced Monday.

Ottawa Senators owner Michael Andlauer firmly rejected the talk of a potential relocation of the franchise to Quebec City following an earlier franchise announcement.
