		Bryden and Corson had worked together several years prior, when Corson was president and CEO of International Epitek, Inc. (which later merged with CompAS), and Bryden was a management consultant assisting Epitek with strategic planning.

		Bryden knew that anyone who had gone through the multitude of steps necessary to document each and every procedure in order to obtain certification—engineering, design, manufacturing, order entry, and quality systems, to name a few—would have no trouble formalizing and implementing a manufacturing process for a new product.

		But after the sale, Bryden still owed tens of millions of dollars for money loaned to him from private investors who bankrolled him so he could keep running the hockey club from the mid-1990s until early 2003, when he placed the team in bankruptcy protection.
		Bryden said he agreed to personally guarantee the loans would be repaid because he wanted to assure investors he was willing to accept the same risks that the Senators would succeed.
		Bryden said the eventual ''trigger'' that pushed the Senators into insolvency was the collapse of U.S. energy trader Enron Corp., which in turn sent another American firm, Covanta Energy Corp., into bankruptcy protection south of the border.

		But when Bryden delivered another of his it's-up-to-the-fans sermons yesterday upon announcing that his team was officially bankrupt after being unofficially so for some time, it might have been nice for the Sens chairman to point the finger at himself as well.
		The answer to all of these questions is no. Still, according to Bryden, it's now up to those fans to rescue this franchise by delivering an increased level of support that will attract suitable investors.
		In Ottawa, Bryden said he may still buy the Senators with a partner, and seemed to challenge fans to respond by buying tickets if they still want to see him in charge.

	Nutty tale of the Senators' debt load
		So the workout commences on the Ottawa Senators, and Rod Bryden has little time to convince creditors that he's the entrepreneur who should get the nod to carry the team forward, albeit without the debt load that was arranged under his leadership.
		Here in the gulag, we turn a jaundiced eye to such tricks, though we do note that the more current fashion is for any enterprise in bankruptcy protection to distance itself from the chairman whose job it was to make the business function profitably on the basis of realistic figures and not inflated ones.
		Bryden has the lion's share of the shares in the Senators — 24,500 preferred and 109 common for a virtual lock on the team.
