Are you implying that these people wouldn't have made these fine contributions if they didn't happen to own an NHL team? I'm not sure that's a fair assumption.

And at what point does it become crass to leverage previous charity work in order to get financial favors? What is the point of charity, if we are all now obligated to give back the money through other ways?
