BELLEVILLE, ON — Recent rumors about the relocation of the Belleville Senators have been put to rest by Owner Michael Andlauer. Speaking with TSN’s Claire Hanna during Thursday night’s NHL Senators game, Andlauer reassured fans that the Belleville Sens remain a vital part of the organization.

Sporting a red hat with “613” emblazoned across the front, Andlauer emphasized his dedication to the Bay of Quinte Region. “When I hear things that are not right, I like to speak up. I owe it to the fans,” said Andlauer. “613 is Sens Country, as far as I’m concerned. When I bought the Belleville Bulls, I was loyal to my community in Hamilton, and today, that’s a different story.”

Andlauer went on to highlight Belleville’s significance, saying, “It’s strategic to be in Belleville; they’re great fans. The 613 is part of Sens Country, and Belleville is here to stay. I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time in Belleville.”
