As was noted earlier, ESPN the magazine ranked the Ottawa Sentors quite highly in their recent 'Ultimate Team Rankings'. In addition to having been ranked in the top 10 franchises overall, they were ranked the top spors franchise in Canada.
Ottawa Senators President Cyril Leeder weighed in on the ranking:
Yeah, it's great news. It really validates what we've been saying for a while, we think we provide great value for our fans and it's always nice when someone like ESPN recognizes that...I think on the what you get for what you pay, the sort of value scale, we've always felt we were a leader, certainly in the NHL. That's where we do most of the comparison and this survey would rank us number one among professional sports teams in Canada, but just as important for us is number three in the NHL and right behind one and two which is Pittsburgh and Anaheim. We're pretty pleased with that.
