For the first time in his 18 season NHL career, Detroit Red Wings forward Daniel Alfredsson is preparing to face a former team. Thats because he spent the first 17 campaigns with the Ottawa Senators; the team that made him the 133rd overall pick in the sixth round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft before making the move to the Motor City. On Wednesday, the Senators will make their first visit of the season to Detroit and the meeting has been on Alfredssons mind. You can catch all of the action live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt and get in-depth player stats, Twitter Trender and more on TSN.cas GameTracker. "I dont know how its going to feel," Alfredsson told TSNs Brent Wallace in an exclusive sit down interview. "Part of me is a little excited because a lot of my friends are on the other team and its going to be about bragging rights in some terms. On the other hand its going to be different emotions going through me as well." While meeting his former teammates for the first time is going to be big, the 40-year-old forward feels that playing for the first time in Ottawa, in front of the Senators fans, is going to be an even bigger challenge. "Thats going to be the most emotional game, December 1st in Ottawa no question," said Alfredsson. "The way the schedule works out, were going to play them twice here before and I think Ill have dealt with most of the questions. It will be more focused on the game." After announcing his decision to move from the Senators to the Red Wings, one of the reasons Alfredsson gave for making the choice was seeing a better chance to win the Stanley Cup in Detroit; a statement that wasnt well received in Ottawa. "Looking back, not the best comment I could have made, but I think we all know that if you get into the playoffs you have a chance to win the Stanley Cup," said Alfredsson. "Ottawa, going forward, are going to get better and better because they have a really good core to build on. For me, (Detroit) is a different challenge." Senators owner Eugene Melnyk claimed that there was miscommunication between the forward and his agent J.P. Barry while they were trying to negotiate a contract extension. This is a claim that Alfredsson denies. "I was in daily contact with J.P. throughout the whole process and if there was miscommunication it would have been from both sides, I assume," said Alfredsson. "From our point of view, me and J.P., we were close throughout the whole process and I dont feel that there was any miscommunication." Despite selling his Ottawa home and moving his family to Detroit, the Gothenburg, Sweden native has not shut the door on returning to the Senators organization when his time with the Red Wings is over. "I havent closed anything off," said Alfredsson. "This is a new chapter in our lives, a new challenge and who knows whats going to happen after. We havent planned anything about moving back to Sweden, Ottawa or staying (in Detroit)." The veteran is not worried about how hes viewed through the choices hes made but does want the people that used to cheer for him to know they are held in high regard. "I do care what people in Ottawa think of me and the love and support they gave me will always be with me and those 18 years will be a very special time." Alfredsson does, however, dispute the idea that the feelings coming from his former home are as hurt as people want to believe. "I dont think there is as much bitterness as people make it out to be," said Alfredsson. "In the long run we had a great relationship throughout my career, both on and off the ice, and you cant change that. I think if you carry yourself with pride and treat people the way they want to be treated, things usually work out." Marcus Davenport Saints Jersey .

He had been head coach of the Redmen since November 2011.A resignation letter attributed to Uttley said the coach objected to McGills decision to suspend running back Luis-Andres Guimont-Mota following his arrest last week.In the letter, Uttley took umbrage with a statement released by McGill on Friday that said the individual should not have been invited to join our team. That was not in accordance with the values of our community.He added that he believes in giving people a second chance and noted that McGill did not object to Guimont-Motas presence on the team when he was sentenced to 90 days in jail time last year after pleading guilty to assaulting a man outside a Quebec City bar.A source confirmed the contents of the letter to The Canadian Press.McGill accepts Coach Uttleys resignation and thanks him for his dedication and service to McGill and the Redmen football team, McGill deputy provost Ollivier Dyens said in a statement. The University maintains that the pedagogical mission of our institution takes precedence. We wish Mr. Uttley well in his future eendeavours.dddddddddddd.As we indicated in a statement last week, we launched an in-depth review of our rules and regulations governing participation in varsity sports to ensure that all rules and regulations are aligned with and reinforce transparent decision-making, accountability and commitment to the values that define the McGill learning environment.Our review is continuing.Guimont-Mota was allowed to serve the sentence on Sundays so it wouldnt interfere with his football career.He was formally arraigned in Montreal last week on charges of assault and uttering threats.

McGill said the player in question had been immediately suspended as per the universitys varsity athletics guidelines.Guimont-Motas lawyer said the university was too hasty in suspending his client from the football team and didnt know all the facts of the case.
