The photos and the videos of the damage to the Atlantic provinces from Hurricane Fiona have hit close to home in the Ottawa Senators\u0027 dressing room.
“My family in Port-Aux-Basque got hit hard,” Batherson told this newspaper Sunday. “My great aunt and uncle lost their house into the ocean. My thoughts and prayers are with my family in Port-Aux-Basque and everybody in that town and all my family across Newfoundland.
“I heard the news before the game and I just felt terrible,” Batherson said. “I’ve seen a lot of the videos from the area and it’s really tough to watch. The houses in Port-Aux-Basque have probably been there for over a hundred years and I recognize some of the areas that got hit from being there as a kid.But Batherson wasn’t the only one on the phone.
“I’ve been on the phone regularly,” Bowness said following Fan Fest at the Canadian Tire Centre Sunday. “Anytime something like this happen it’s upsetting. From a family standpoint, our home doesn’t have any structural damage thankfully. There’s a lot of trees down, some fences down on the property and some plate glass windows on the deck are down.
