Senators Release Huge Statement on Coach Battling ALS & Show Support With Helmet Decals

BY AUSTIN SABOURIN
Starting tonight against the Islanders, Ottawa Senators players will all be wearing decals on their helmets to support assistant coach Bob Jones' with his fight against ALS.



Recently Jones came out and announced that even though he is fighting this disease he will continue to coach for the remainder of the season if possible.

The Senators organization has granted Jones their full support to take any time away during the season if needed.


Jones is in his fourth year as an assistant head coach of the Senators. Before that he had worked in the AHL and coached in the OHL for over 20 years.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or more commonly known as ALS, is a disease that gradually paralyzes the individual as the brain becomes unable to communicate with muscles in the body.
