The eyes of the world are on Canada’s capital city of Ottawa today following a harrowing situation involving one or more armed gunmen attacking members of the Canadian Armed Forces and moving on to the Canadian Parliament buildings.

As things have unfolded, many NHLPA members have taken to Twitter to make their thoughts and prayers known to those involved and the citizens of the city of Ottawa. The game between the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs (who are involved in the lockdown within the downtown core) has been postponed.

The Players and Staff of the NHLPA have the City of Ottawa & the Canadian Military personnel in our thoughts following this terrible tragedy.
