The Ottawa Senators legendary anthem singer Lyndon Slewidge has been noticeably absent from this year's games and has recently spoken to Postmedia confirming that the organization has not offered him a contract renewal for this season.

The team has released a statement stating that they are 'trying a number of new in-arena activations for the fans, including inviting other performers and artists to sing the national anthems' and while giving opportunities to new and different entertainers in the city is respectable, this is the team's 25th anniversary season and Slewidge has been a staple at Sens games as the anthem singer since 1992! Sens games are not the same without him or his signature sign-off of a thumbs up and wink at the end of the anthem. Having him at just a few games this season is not honouring the tradition and history of the team which is what this whole anniversary season is supposed to be about.

Please sign the petition to let the Ottawa Senators know just how much the fans appreciate, respect and admire having Lyndon Slewidge as part of the Sens home game day experience!!!
