One of two small outlets of the Ottawa Senators official team store, currently offering all merchandise at a 50% discount, until the Senators’ first game of the regular season on Monday, January 21, 2013. This relatively new location opened when the Sens closed the downtown outlet at the Rideau Centre. This official team shop serves west O-town. The Sens Store at Carlingwood Shopping Centre is close enough to the back entrance that you can jump in & out in quickly. I can’t say that the customer service has been stellar here either. The staff don’t seem very outgoing or engaging. Maybe I scare them? The Ottawa Senators ask their staff to help create raving fans for life — cmon people, show me some excitement! You would be preaching to the converted, but I like to see people who are happy to be there and proud of their job. All things said, I am a ridiculous Ottawa fanatic. If you are looking for a Senator licensed gift — The Sens Store has just about anything you might want as far as Senators merchandise is concerned. A little more creativity went into this little shop. There are hockey rink boards around the perimetre of the shop, and imitation ice flooring. The historical images significant Senators history displays well. The shop is small, but it offers a variety of senatorial wares for zealots and moderates alike. They carry a smattering of collectibles and focus on the staples of hockey gear: jerseys, apparel & hats. For more unique items and a widespread selection, you will definitely want to visit the flagship store at Scotiabank Place. Prices are what you would expect from an official NHL teamstore, but bargains can be found every now and then. 9⁄30 — Unilocal Ottawa’s 30 Day Challenge!
