2014 - NHL Coin and Stamp Gift Set - Ottawa Senators

It is said that the Ottawa Senators began in 1883, when three Ottawa residents, inspired by a hockey tournament in Montreal, Quebec, opened Ottawa's first hockey club. By 1886, the Ottawa team's weekly challenge games against Montreal had done much to boost the sport's popularity regionally. In 1903, the team won its first of 11 Stanley Cup titles. Although the Senators folded in 1933, nearly 60 years later another trio of Ottawans took up the mantle to bring back the Ottawa Senators. The new Ottawa Senators played their first game on October 8, 1992.
