Ottawa Senators coach Travis Green inducted into BC Hockey Hall of Fame

Ottawa Senators bench boss Travis Green was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday.

What happened?

Travis Green, the Ottawa Senators head coach, received the ultimate hockey honor in his home province. The ceremony took place in Victoria, BC, where Green’s playing and coaching legacy was celebrated. Green joins a long list of British Columbia hockey icons in the Hall.

Green starred for the Medicine Hat Tigers in the WHL before a 12-year NHL career. He suited up for six teams, logging 719 games and 242 points. Green’s coaching career includes stops in the AHL, NHL and behind Canada’s national team.

Why it matters for Ottawa Senators

Green took over Ottawa’s bench in 2023-24 and guided the Senators to a playoff push. The club sits sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 44-27 record and on a W1 streak as of July 13, 2026. His induction underscores the franchise’s commitment to developing homegrown hockey talent.

Ottawa’s front office values local hockey roots. Green’s ties to BC run deep—he grew up in Victoria and played his junior hockey in the province. The Senators have leaned on coaches with strong developmental backgrounds to build a competitive roster.

What comes next?

Green will remain behind Ottawa’s bench as the Senators chase a playoff spot. The team’s upcoming schedule features tough matchups against Atlantic Division rivals. A deep postseason run would cap a remarkable season for Green both personally and professionally.

The Senators host the Boston Bruins on July 15, 2026. Green’s squad aims to extend its winning streak and secure home-ice advantage in the first round. Fans will celebrate his Hall of Fame honor with chants of his name at Canadian Tire Centre.
