The Ottawa Senators were a founding franchise of the NHL when it started play in 1917/18. The Senators played in the NHL until 1934 when financial problems forced the owners to move the club to St. Louis where they were known as the St. Louis Eagles. This club only played for one season then disbanded. When Ottawa was granted a new franchise and started play in 1992/93, the owners of the new club decided to name the team after the old team that had played in the league many years before.
