OTTAWA – Ottawa Senators president of hockey operations and interim general manager Steve Staios announced today the appointment of former Senators head coach Jacques Martin as Senior Advisor to the Coaching Staff.
A native of Saint-Pascal, Ont., and the longest tenured head coach in Senators’ history, Martin will serve as a day-to-day resource to Senators’ head coach D.J. Smith and his staff.
“We’re very pleased to welcome Jacques back to the Senators,” said Staios. “Not only will his extensive expertise provide invaluable guidance, but his strategic vision and leadership are qualities that are certain to amplify our group. Jacques’ proven track record, the foundation of which was built here in Ottawa, will be of significant benefit to D.J. and our entire coaching staff.”
This seems like a smart move by Ottawa, trying to get some stability.
Sens and JM just can't quit each other, can they? It's like the other Martin - Billy Martin - and the Yankees.
