Senators Extend Coach’s Contract
The Ottawa Senators, eliminated by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Eastern Conference semifinals this week, extended the contract of Coach Jacques Martin for another season, through 2003-04.
The Senators also announced Friday that team President and Chief Executive Roy Mlakar has signed a five-year contract and Marshall Johnston has decided not to return as general manager.
“I feel very fortunate to be able to continue to try to bring a Stanley Cup to Ottawa,” Martin, the third-longest serving coach in the league, said at a news conference at the Corel Centre.
The Senators blew a 3-2 series lead over the Maple Leafs.
