MANIWAKI, Que. — A Quebec First Nation community has confirmed it is endorsing one of the bids involved in the upcoming sale of the Ottawa Senators.
The chief and council said in a statement it wanted to address the speculation about Indigenous involvement in the Senators sale process. Whiteduck was not immediately available for comment Thursday.
“It’s your boy big Snoop Dogg giving a shout out to the First Nations of Canada, that’s right, for joining Neko Sparks in the Ottawa Senators bid,” he said, standing in a recording studio wearing a Senators jersey. “We trying to do something, we trying to make a difference.” The community noted that, since the lifting of the abeyance on the title claim earlier this year, they have been encouraged by investor and media interest in the equity role in the purchase of the Senators and redevelopment of the land, including a new facility for the club.
Final bids were submitted on Monday to New York-based banker Galatioto Sports Partners, which is handling the sale for the Melnyk family.
