In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the Ottawa Senators and the broader hockey community have been rocked by the unexpected resignation of star right-winger Drake Batherson.
The 27-year-old forward, widely regarded as a cornerstone of the Senators’ rebuild, boldly submitted his resignation this morning, catching both team management and fans completely off guard. Sources close to the organization say Batherson’s decision was personal and firm, though the full reasons remain unclear at this time.
Batherson, who has been a consistent offensive threat and fan favorite since his debut, was expected to play a major role in the Senators’ 2025-26 campaign. His sudden departure now leaves a glaring hole in the team’s roster — and sends shockwaves through the NHL and even into the NCAA hockey community, where Batherson has long been a respected role model for rising talent.
Neither Batherson nor the Ottawa Senators have released a formal statement yet, but a press conference is expected within the next 24 hours.
