The NHL community was left reeling today as Ottawa Senators head coach Travis Green publicly confirmed his divorce from wife Sheree Green, following what he described as “deeply personal and painful developments.”
The announcement came during a brief press conference held Friday morning, where Green appeared visibly emotional but composed. After over two decades of marriage, the couple is parting ways amid unconfirmed allegations that have begun circulating in both media and online forums.
“This is a private matter, but given the public speculation and the position I hold, I feel it’s necessary to address it,” Green said. “Sheree and I have decided to end our marriage after many years together. I will not be commenting on the details, but I ask for respect and privacy for our family.”
While Green did not elaborate, sources close to the situation have suggested that the divorce may be connected to serious allegations involving personal conduct, though no official complaints or legal filings have been made public as of this writing.
The Ottawa Senators organization released a statement shortly after the press conference, expressing support for Green:
“Coach Green has our full support during this difficult time. We recognize the personal challenges he is facing and will continue to respect his privacy. Our focus remains on the upcoming season and maintaining a healthy environment for the team.”
Green, who joined the Senators as head coach earlier this year, had been seen as a steadying presence for the franchise during a period of rebuilding. News of the divorce has sparked widespread reaction from fans, fellow coaches, and players around the league, many expressing sympathy and surprise on social media.
As the story develops, attention now turns to how this off-ice turmoil may affect the Senators’ locker room dynamic just weeks ahead of the regular season. NHL analysts are already weighing in, noting that the emotional toll could present a major challenge for both Green and the team.
Sheree Green has not yet made a public statement regarding the matter. Attempts to reach her representatives for comment have so far been unsuccessful.
