Ottawa Citizen rep back on Senators charter in wake of Uber video controversy
ST. PAUL, Minn. — A hockey reporter representing the Ottawa Citizen was allowed back on the Ottawa Senators’ charter flight on Wednesday ahead of their game in Minnesota.
The decision comes 12 days after Citizen beat reporter Ken Warren was barred from flying with the Senators to Tampa, Fla., because of an ongoing dispute between the newspaper and the team.
Bruce Garrioch had a byline for the Citizen on Wednesday with a placeline of St. Paul, Minn.
Editors at the newspaper had declined on Nov. 7 to take down a secretly recorded video of several Senators players in an Uber vehicle in Arizona despite a legal notice from the NHL team insisting that leaving it online violates provincial privacy laws.
