April 24, 2026

Nearly one year ago, Sens captain Brady Tkachuk was holding back tears after the boys failed to force a Game 7 against Toronto. Tomorrow, for a second straight year, Sens Army will be staring down the barrel of a potential 4-game sweep, as the Carolina Hurricanes secured a 3-0 series stranglehold last night.

Meantime, the sold-out Game 3 crowd might still be suffering the side-effects of last night’s shenanigans, but the Senators WAG’s are winning the day with their slick playoff jackets. CFRA’s Emma Kelly has more on that.

It is based around photos documenting life in Toronto’s Jewish community, press clippings of antisemitic incidents in Canada as well as pictures of European Jewish life before the Holocaust. “One of the goals of this book is to show that there’s just not one way of being Jewish,”...
