Inspired by animal-loving Ottawa Senators including Mark Borowiecki and Matt Duchene, the first Furry Fans Night will take place on Monday, Oct. 15, when the Senators host the Dallas Stars at 7:30 p.m. The Senators have partnered with local animal rescue organizations, who will be on site for each of the six games to help promote pet adoption awareness and to celebrate a fun and unique game experience.
In addition to the event next Monday, there will be five other Furry Fans Nights at Canadian Tire this season, including: Monday, Nov. 19, versus the Florida Panthers, Monday, Dec. 17, versus the Nashville Predators, Saturday, Jan. 5, versus the Minnesota Wild, Tuesday, Feb. 12, versus the Carolina Hurricanes and Thursday, March 7, versus the N.Y. Islanders.
One of the many fun and distinctive parts of this promotion will be the introduction of the "Pawttawa Senators". In the near future, the Senators will share the details of a social media contest where fans will have the chance to showcase their Furry Fan to become a member of this year's "Pawttawa Senators". These selected dogs will become official ambassadors to one of our local animal rescue organizations, including: Ottawa Dog Rescue, Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue, Boxer Rescue Ontario and Freedom Dog Rescue.
While our four-legged friends (unfortunately) aren't able to come to these NHL games at Canadian Tire Centre, the Senators are planning to host several events this season where fans and their pets can attend to meet and share their love of both canines and the Ottawa Senators.
