The Ottawa Senators have removed the ‘interim’ tag from head coach Cory Clouston, signing the harness racing enthusiast, who was featured in The Sportsman’s March 5 edition, to a two-year contract extension.
Clouston, the nephew of Alberta horseman Rod Hennessey, took over the Sens head coaching job on Feb. 2 after Craig Hartsburg was fired. The team, which missed the playoffs for the first time since the 1995-1996 season, improved dramatically under Clouston’s leadership late in the season.
Despite his job security thanks to his new contract, all is not rosy for Clouston this offseason. The Senators’ top sniper and two-time 50 goal scorer Dany Heatley has asked to be traded before next season, citing dissatisfaction with his role in Clouston’s system.
