Today, you can watch them beat the Winnipeg Jets. (NOTE: OK, That didn’t happen). Tomorrow, you can skate with Ottawa Senators wingers Erik Condra and Colin Greening while helping out a great cause at the same time as part of the BIG PURPLE SKATE.

There will be free public skating at four different arenas Sunday afternoon, and either Colin or Erik will be dropping by each one to visit with fans. And by free, I mean you can skate for free if you are either wearing purple in support of D.I.F.D. or Ottawa Senators gear.
The locations and times for the free skates are:
