OTTAWA Craig Hartsburg is the new head coach of the Ottawa Senators.

The team introduced him at a news conference today.

Hartsburg takes over from Senators general manager Bryan Murray, who finished the season behind the Ottawa bench after coach John Paddock was fired in late February.

The Sens also interviewed former Atlanta Thrashers head coach Bob Hartley and Peter DeBoer of the Kitchener Rangers.

The position in Ottawa will be Hartsburg's first with an NHL team since serving as an assistant with the Philadelphia Flyers from 2002 to 2004. He also had head coaching jobs with Anaheim and Chicago.

The 48-year-old Hartsburg has been coach of the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for the past five seasons.

He won three gold medals as a coach at the world junior championships one as an assistant to Brent Sutter and two as a head coach.
