The Annual Ottawa Senators Halloween Costume Party: The Costume Contest

by Capital Gains


It's Halloween! The Ottawa Senators held their annual Halloween party last night following their shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Like any good Halloween party, the Sens held a contest to determine who wore the best costume to the party. The person or group of people with the highest score was crowned the victor and given a prize personally selected by Eugene Melnyk**. The scoring was split up into two categories:

Costume Creativeness: Between 0 and 10 points
Costume Scariness: Between 0 and 10 points

Judges: Paul MacLean, Bryan Murray, and Eugene Melnyk.


I hope someone dressed as a giant pen to sign Murray's contract offer.
