How do you propose that governments do this? Pass a law that somehow applies in both Canada and the U.S., evicting every NHL team from every arena that was built with public money, and then force them to buy the arenas at the original cost of construction?

Because the only subsidy that most NHL teams are receiving is the ability to play in a publicly-funded arena that has already been built – decades ago in the majority of cases.
