**Getting to know....Daniel Alfredsson**
Senators captain talks about the 1,000-game milestone and more
He is the owner of just about every team record that matters.
And Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is far from done adding to his lofty totals. Even as he hits the 1,000-game milestone in National Hockey League service, the 37-year-old native of Goteborg, Sweden, is still going strong.
Clearly, he is the face of the only NHL franchise he has ever known. He is also beloved by the Sens Army faithful who have chanted his name with tremendous gusto since their captain fuelled the Senators’ dream ride to the Stanley Cup final in 2006-07. It’s that connection with the fans that also makes Alfredsson especially proud of the fact he’s only the 44th player in NHL history to hit the 1,000-game plateau with one team.
His current contract, Alfredsson has said, will be his last, meaning he’ll indeed wear the “Senator for life” distinction to the end of his playing days.
Alfredsson took some time to speak with Bodycheck about the game he loves, the city that has become home to him and his family, and a whole lot more.
