Senators hire Peter MacTavish as assistant GM to fill void left by Randy Lee
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators have found Randy Lee’s replacement, naming Peter MacTavish as the team’s new assistant general manager on Monday.
The Senators said in a statement that MacTavish’s focus will include contracts, salary arbitration and managerial support of hockey operations, both in Ottawa and with the Belleville Senators of the American Hockey League.
The 44-year-old lawyer joins the club following a stint as a labour and employment partner at Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP in the nation’s capital. MacTavish has also worked with CAA Hockey, where he assisted with player recruitment, player management and contract negotiations.
He will begin with the Senators on Oct. 1.
