Ryan Reynolds, Snoop Dogg in mix to buy Ottawa's NHL team?

​There appears to be celebrity interest in buying the Ottawa Senators, the National Hockey League team for sale in Canada's capital city.

Rap impresario Snoop Dogg said in an Instagram post Monday that he was “looking forward” to being part of a bid by Los Angeles-based businessman Neko Sparks, who would be the first Black owner of an NHL team.

“I WANNA BRING HOCKEY TO OUR COMMUNITY,” Snoop Dogg wrote.

Last week, Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds was reportedly linked to a bid that would top US$1 billion for the team. Neither Sparks nor Reynolds have publicly confirmed their interest in buying the Senators.
