Belleville Senators News Release


The Belleville Senators announced today that Nathan McIver has been hired as an assistant coach. He will join head coach David Bell and his staff, which includes assistant coach Ben Sexton, goaltending coach Justin Peters and video coach Frederic Lemay.

McIver, 38, enters the organization after a two-year stint as an assistant coach for the Newfoundland Growlers of the ECHL, where he helped lead the team to appearances in the Eastern Conference finals in both the 2022 and 2023 Kelly Cup playoffs. Prior to his time in Newfoundland, he spent four seasons with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) from 2016-2020, where he began his coaching career as an assistant with the franchise.

Executives with the Senators' organization spent the majority of Canada Day in negotiations, working to improve their roster. Their efforts have paid significant dividends, as Ottawa and Belleville were able to complete ten signings.

The Belleville Senators have benefitted from their affiliation with a parent club that consistently emphasizes the National Hockey League Entry Draft. Many of the top players that help to make Belleville competitive each season are draft picks. The organization was pleased to make five selections on Thursday afternoon at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville as they continue to build for a bright future.
