Like all NHL teams nowadays, the Ottawa Senators have a big social media presence. All news, scores and events are posted in a timely fashion on all their social media accounts. The Senators do a very good job of breaking news to fans, giving updates throughout games, and posting behind-the-scenes pictures. If you’re only going to follow one of these, I suggest the Twitter account.

The guy that runs it can be absolutely hilarious.

Ian Mendes

Ian Mendes is the heart and soul of Ottawa Senators media. Growing up in Ottawa, I will always remember Mendes hosting on Sportsnet’s coverage each and every game. You just can’t say a bad word about the guy. He was always the star of that broadcast and I enjoyed watching him whether it was a Senators game, or just highlights on Sportsnet Connected.

Mendes now covers the Senators on TSN 1200 Radio and occasionally writes blogs for TSN’s website. He also does a fantastic job writing blogs for todaysparent.com, a site all about parenting in today’s world.

Bonk’s Mullet

In early 2010, Eric Doty took to Twitter under the identity of Radek Bonk’s mullet. Bonk is a well-liked former Ottawa Senator, and the perfect guy to base a Twitter account on. Doty is known on Twitter for his humour and hilarious depictions of anything Senators. In May of 2013, with the help of multiple humorous writers, Doty launched his website, bonksmullet.com. He also runs a fundraiser called Sens Money on the Board. During selected Senators games, fans can donate money every time their favourite player scores a goal or extra money if the Sens win. All proceeds go to the Senators Foundation for children in Ottawa. So far, $15,000 has been raised.
