Jacques Martin returns to the Ottawa Senators entourage, as they hired him as a special advisor to the coaching staff on Wednesday.
It is therefore a return for the former head coach of the team, he who had been the pilot behind the bench of the “Sens” between 1996 and 2004. The Ottawa club had given him his second experience in this position in his career, as he previously managed the St. Louis Blues from 1986 to 1988.

He notably won the Jack Adams Trophy in 1998-1999, in addition to having led the Canadian federal capital to the Presidents’ Trophy in 2003.
Martin also coached the Florida Panthers between 2005 and 2008, and the Montreal Canadiens from 2009 to 2012.
In 1,294 games as head instructor, Martin maintained a record of 613-481-119-81.
After a season away from the National Hockey League, the 71-year-old began a long adventure with the Pittsburgh Penguins, between 2013 and 2020, notably as assistant to the head coach. He won two Stanley Cups with the organization during this period.
The former CH then joined the New York Rangers, still as assistant coach, for one season.
More recently, Martin was named special advisor with the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OHL) since 2022.
