Below is the Senators campaign Melnyk was really not happy about:
Frustrated after viewing the Twitter campaign, Melnyk called the person in charge and said:
Are you the one responsible for this f*king gay campaign? Have you lost your fucking mind? You need to take that shit down immediately.
We are the laughing stock of the NHL right now!
They think we are so desperate that we have to advertise to gays now. Dogs and gays.
The reference to dogs referred to the Senators commitment in the community to local animal rescues where they'd ran promotions earlier in the season. Despite Melnyk's objections the campaign ran as advertise as part of the NHL's "Hockey is for Everyone".
Workplace abuse was also reported. The Athletic found the account of one employee who took the abuse from Melnyk's:
You F*ing can't who do you think you are?
When I tell you to do something you do it.
You are done.
Melnyk also wrote a month earlier in an email:
You really are a dumb bitch who doesn't get it. How dare you write and question me.
You are a no one.
All these emails sent by the former Senators owner, have been confirmed and verified by The Athletic.
Wow as you can see Melnyk was really old school. What a crazy story.
