Brady Tkachuk will donate Senators jerseys thrown on ice in Ottawa
Brady Tkachuk plans to donate any Ottawa Senators jerseys thrown on the ice during his return game on Wednesday.
The Florida Panthers forward is returning to Ottawa for the first time since the Senators traded him in June.
Tkachuk had told Ottawa he would not sign a contract extension when his deal ends in 2028, and used his no-movement clause to secure a trade to Florida.
Some Senators fans may throw their jerseys in protest, though Tkachuk said he does not recommend doing so.
The donated jerseys will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, a place he and his wife valued during their time in the city.
The game will be the first chance for Ottawa fans to show their reaction to his departure.
