Ottawa Senators super-fans like Elysia Desmier and Melanie McDonald live for their hockey team. But this season, something’s different. Desmier has cancelled her seasons tickets, and McDonald is refusing to go to any more games. Both are angry with team owner Eugene Melnyk. In the aftermath of threats to move the team, and trading away star players, they’re using their wallets as a form of protest.
