Neil and Fisher grew up in this organization together. They were both selected in the 1998 NHL draft and got to know each other at development camps. Fisher was selected No. 44 overall in the second-round while the Senators took a flyer on Neil with a sixth-round pick. “He was so gracious with the fans and he showed so much patience with people. He really was remarkable the way he treated people. That was a testament to his character and the kind of guy that he is.”Born in Flesherton, Ont., Neil has made his home here with his wife, Caitlin, and the couple’s two children. Neil suited up for 1,026 games in 16 seasons with the Senators. He finished with 112 goals and 250 points but his game was never about being an offensive player.
