Summer Skate 2025: Bourgault back to build on solid debut season with Senators

The Belleville Senators’ 2025-26 roster is starting to take shape, with the Ottawa Senators announcing a handful of two-way National Hockey League contracts last week, and new Belleville Sens general manager Matt Turek also locking down some familiar faces on fresh American Hockey League deals.

With that in mind, the Belleville Sens Entertainment Network is catching up with newly signed players, who are either slated to be in the Friendly City all season, or could be back and forth between the Quinte Region and Ottawa.

This week, we catch up with forward Xavier Bourgault, who was re-signed to a one-year, two-way National Hockey League contract by the Senators. The 22-year-old from L’Islet, Quebec, and former first-round draft pick is ready to make more of an impact with the Sens this season, after being acquired in a trade with Edmonton in the summer of 2024.

The 2025-26 American Hockey League schedule is expected to be announced soon, but until then, you can get the latest roster updates via the Belleville Sens Offseason Player Tracker, or get more info on schedule, tickets, and more at bellevillesens.com.
