Thomas Chabot Named 11th Captain in Ottawa Senators Franchise History

Ottawa Senators have named defenseman Thomas Chabot the 11th captain in franchise history ahead of the 2026-27 season. Chabot, the longest-tenured player with 569 games over nine years, fills the vacancy left by Brady Tkachuk's June trade to Florida. The first-round pick will lead alongside alternates Claude Giroux, Jake Sanderson, and Tim Stutzle. Chabot expressed deep gratitude to the city where he started his family as the Senators prepare for their season opener in Toronto.
