The competition between parties who are interested to acquire the Ottawa Senators just got a lot stronger. The NHL franchise which is reported to be around $1 billion is up for sale and a number of big names are keen on owning the Senators.
The Remington Group along with Canadian A-list celebrity Ryan Reynolds were alleged to be frontrunners to acquire the Senators. They now face competition as another big celebrity has joined forces with businessman Neko Sparks to put in a bid for the Senators.
Snoop Dogg Glad To Have Chance To Buy Senators
American rapper Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to inform over 80 million followers that he was taking the opportunity to join Neko Sparks and make a bid for the Ottawa Senators. Snoop said he is a big fan of hockey and has followed the game for over 25 years.
The rapper said he was happy to see young people who look like him playing hockey in Canada but did not see the same kind of interest with young people in America. He is looking to change that by being a part owner of the Senators and helping more young Americans that look like him take up the game of hockey.
