A meeting with new Ottawa Senators owner Michael Andlauer was 'very positive,' according to Chief Dylan Whiteduck, though there will have to be further consultation with the community.

Chief Dylan Whiteduck of Kitigan Zibi Anishinābeg.has left the door open to a partnership with his First Nation — and he's definitely interested.

Asked about the potential value of a Kitigan Zibi investment, he said "a large number" is being discussed. He said a meeting between the First Nation and Andlauer was "very positive." In Whiteduck's view, Kitigan Zibi can bring a lot to the table, including access to federal capital funding that has an Indigenous component.

Whiteduck said an official announcement on a partnership with Andlauer's group could come in the spring. He said he sees strong potential in a Senators roster with solid core defence, good goaltending and strong forwards.
