The Ottawa Senators have never been more popular in Hollywood. After actor Ryan Reynolds, now the incomparable Snoop Dogg would also be part of the race to get his hands on the Canadian team.
This was reported by The Athletic website on Monday.
The Californian rapper would have joined a consortium led by entrepreneur Neko Sparks wanting to buy the “Sens”.

It is not known at this time how much Snoop Dogg would invest, but he would not be satisfied with the role of spectator in the organization. He would like to not only promote the team, but also increase the accessibility of hockey in the greater Ottawa area, particularly for families from diverse backgrounds.
Snoop Dogg could also join the Senators’ broadcast team on TSN, as he has done in the past with his hometown team, the Los Angeles Kings.
In addition to his successful career as an artist, he has generated significant sums as an entrepreneur, particularly in the field of recreational cannabis.
Recall that another consortium, of which Reynolds is a member, has also filed an offer worth approximately $1 billion to acquire the Senators.
The late Eugene Melynk’s daughters, Anna and Olivia, put the team up for sale last November.
