ON THE BENCH
Dave Allison (1995-96)
David Allison was hired by the Ottawa Senators in 1994 as the head coach of their farm team, the Prince Edwards Island Senators of the AHL. In the 1994-95 season, he led the team to a 41-31-8 record and the following seasons started them off on a 10-11-2 record through 23 games.
When the Senators fired head coach Rick Bowness in 1995, Allison was selected as his replacement. Unfortunately, Allison was fired after 27 games when the club finished with a 2-22-3 record! He was replaced by Jacques Martin the following season.
Dave Allison would not have the opportunity to coach in the NHL again after leaving the Senators. He spent the remainder of his coaching career coaching AHL and IHL teams.
