You can't compare a single NHL hockey team (privately owned) to an athlete wanting to represent their country, sorry.

If they were getting a hundred million dollars a year from the federal government, they wouldn't be privately owned. Our tax dollars would be funding athletes. They'd just happen to be really well paid ones, and doing a sport that Canadians care more about than any other.
It's a silly point though, and not something anyone is actually interested in seeing happen, so I really don't know why I bothered responding, but it's too late now.
