Even though they just returned from an extended break for the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off, the Ottawa Senators will put their skills on display this afternoon at the Canadian Tire Centre (CTC) in the Sens Skills competition, presented by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA).

Players will be divided into two teams, team black and team white, and compete head-to-head in events including faster skater, hardest shot, accuracy shooting, puck control relay and a 3-on-3 competition.

Four lucky minor hockey players will get to skate alongside their favourite Senators and kick off the skills competition.

In addition, four members from the Ottawa Charge of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) are participating: Brianne Jenner, Rebecca Leslie, Emily Clark, and Danielle Serdachny.

A video of Brady Tkachuk and Thomas Chabot selecting their teammates for the event is shown in this link.

The Senators will be donating proceeds to support the Senators Community Foundation and the NHLPA Goals and Dreams Fund. The organization says more than $750,000 has been raised at the Sens Skills since 2010.

Tickets range between $12.50 - $20.00. Family pack prices are also available for the event. All tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.ca.
