Ottawa Senators reveal new look for next season at ticket-holders event
The Ottawa Senators gave their season ticket holders a sneak peek of their new look on Tuesday night. The Senators closed out their second annual season ticket holders' spring summit with a short video that highlighted the new third jersey, which they'll fully unveil in late August. The new jersey will be themed in red with metallic gold and black striping. There are gold stripes on the arms and around the black number on the back of the jersey. It looked pretty sharp. The logo is the same as the current one the Senators are using and the club will wear it at least eight-to-10 times next season — mostly at home — and the jersey will be in existence for at least three years. This will be the first time the club has added a third jersey to its collection since the Centennial Classic was held at Lansdowne Park in 2017 against the Montreal Canadiens. Sneak peek - 3rd jersey!! Coming September!! #GoSensGo ❤️🖤🤍💛 The fans at the season ticket night seemed to like the glimpse they saw of the jersey. Prototype photos had been leaked online, so it wasn't a big surprise. But the reaction was generally good. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Jeff Harrop, the club's director of marketing, said the organization will overhaul its retail merchandising operations at the Canadian Tire Centre, as that's where the club sells the majority of its apparel. 'We almost sell as many jerseys as any team in the NHL,' Harrop said. 'We also sell a lot of hats, but after that, we need to do a better job, and we will do a better job of getting better products into our hands of more people.' bgarrioch@

Brother sexually violated younger sister
Warning: This story includes details of sexual offending that may upset some readers By Tracy Neal, Open Justice multimedia journalist A teenage girl was sexually violated by her older brother after he plied her with drugs and alcohol during a Christmas trip to his home. Every day since, she has wanted to die. Now, the man who shattered his sister's life and tore apart his family has been sent to prison and registered as a child sex offender. A teenage girl was sexually violated by her older brother after he plied her with drugs and alcohol during a Christmas trip to his home. Every day since, she has wanted to die. Now, the man who shattered his sister's life and tore apart his family has been sent to prison and registered as a child sex offender. The victim, who was not in court for the sentencing, said in her victim impact statement that for a long time she had felt it had been her fault and had asked why her brother, now in his early 20s, had thought it was okay to do what he did. When Judge Harrop summarised her statement, he told the defendant: 'If there was a short way to tell you how much this has affected her, she would say she wished you had killed her afterwards'. She wrote that she would have preferred dying over losing the brother she had loved and who had betrayed her in such a way. 'She misses you and hates you, and wanted to die every day. It felt like she was slowly dying,' Judge Harrop read from her statement. He said the extent of damage caused was evident in the mother's statement. The woman said no words existed that spoke of the canyon left in her heart and body. 'You damaged my baby. You have changed her pathway in life, and your younger sister who tried to help,' she said. The defendant, whose name is suppressed to protect the victim and wider family, was homeless and living in a tent and had been cut off by his family. Defence lawyer Tony Bamford said in arguing for a sentence other than prison, the personal loss was the greatest penalty a young man in his situation could ever suffer. Crown prosecutor Jeremy Cameron said in asking the court to refrain from focusing on any latent drug or alcohol problem that the defendant's conscious decision to disinhibit himself in such a way did not reduce his moral culpability. Cameron said a key defining feature was the relationship between the pair and the breach of trust. A family torn apart In December 2023, the victim travelled to Nelson with family to visit the defendant and another sibling over Christmas. On December 23, the victim and her younger sister were alone with the defendant in his house when he offered the victim cannabis. He then got a bottle of spirits from the fridge, which was a quarter full, and the pair had several shots until the bottle was finished, the summary of facts said. The defendant then got more alcohol, which he offered to the victim, before she lay down to rest on her mattress in the defendant's room. The summary said the victim was so affected by alcohol and cannabis that she had difficulty recalling what happened next. The younger sister heard what was happening in the room and 'covered her ears and cried'. She messaged another sibling, who told her to go into the room. The younger sister's attempt to go into the room interrupted what was described as sexual activity. The other sibling arranged for a friend to pick up her sisters, as the defendant disposed of the sheets in a rubbish bin outside a supermarket. No explanation On December 26, the victim's mother went to the police. A medical examination and police interview followed. In February 2024, the defendant turned up voluntarily at the Nelson Police Station, where he admitted supplying cannabis and alcohol to his sister and that they were both intoxicated. He also admitted to having a sexual connection with her, but that it was 'consensual'. Judge Harrop said that the victim was in no way capable of consent. 'There's no suggestion you did this to achieve a sexual goal; it was, however, highly relevant. 'You rendered her intoxicated and vulnerable.' The judge accepted that the defendant was remorseful, but there was little to explain why he had done it. From a starting point of four years in prison, the defendant was awarded credit for his guilty pleas, plus further credit for his youth and ability to rehabilitate. Judge Harrop acknowledged that prison would be 'very difficult' and counter-productive for a young person, but in weighing the gravity of the offending, he was satisfied such a sentence was appropriate. The defendant was sentenced to two years and two months' imprisonment on the charge of unlawful sexual connection. He was sentenced to one month in prison, to be served concurrently, on the charge of supplying cannabis, and was convicted and discharged for supplying alcohol to a minor. The defendant's partner could be heard sobbing outside court as he was handcuffed and led away to begin his sentence.
