The Sens Store

A small satellite outlet location of the Ottawa Senators team store.
In honour of the end of my Seasonal Affective Disorder, and the Senators returning to the ice — I am writing reviews about my beloved Ottawa Senators while catching up on the Unilocal 30 day challenge.
With the end of the labour dispute, the Senators are offering all merchandise at all Sens store locations at 50% off, running through the Senators’ first game of the regular season on Monday, January 21, 2013.
This official team shop serves the east end of the the Capital City. The Sens Store at Place d’Orléans, is on the ground floor, near The Bay, the washrooms and the elevator.
In the past, I haven’t found the staff particularly friendly or talkative. Perhaps the staff believes that I am just trying to shop, so they leave me alone. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I think the average client expects customer service. If I were in charge, I would expect the staff to be very knowlegeable and enthusiastic about the product. Atleast one staff member should exude confidence and a solid understanding about the team and the merchandise.
Keep in mind that I consider myself a ridiculous fan. For the average fan, The Sens Store basically has just about anything you might want as Senators merchandise is concerned.
The store is expensive, but that’s to be expected for legit Ottawa Senators staples. Depending on the time of year, there is usually a good selection of gear, hats, trinkets, and souvenirs.
I have always found it puzzling that they don’t offer more display items, like framed autographed lithographs and photos. A showcase filled with autographed hockey cards, pucks and sticks would display well.
My youngest children enjoy the super-​duper sized, six foot Spartacat bobblehead. The Senators offered a great assortment of Sparty plush this Christmas.
If don’t live close to Scotiabank Place, this is the spot to get tickets — eliminating most of those irksome fees. You save $ 4 in «Convenience Charges» per ticket, and completely eliminate the order and delivery charges. Every one is so fortuitous to pay the $ 3 Capital Replacement Fee (CRF) per ticket.
