Travis Hamonic is intent on settling down in Canada's capital.

The Ottawa Senators defenseman is hoping to re-sign with the club this offseason after his contract expires.

"I love it here. And I want to say that from the bottom of my heart," Hamonic told The Athletic's Ian Mendes. "My wife and kids are so happy here. They are really settled here. And the community has really welcomed us. On a personal level, this is a no-brainer. And with the hockey team, this is headed in the right direction. This organization is on the upswing."

Hamonic has bounced around in the latter half of his career. After seven seasons with the New York Islanders, he spent three years with the Calgary Flames and parts of two campaigns with the Vancouver Canucks before being dealt to the Senators last season.
