I really doubt it. It doesn’t really benefit them at all to open their books I don’t think.
Does anyone know how the revenue sharing works? Does the revenue get pooled and shared equally?
I think owning a NHL team is just about franchise equity appreciation which is still highly profitable. Again, there’s no way the community outreach and philanthropy matches the equity appreciation figure so thanking ownership is a bit odd. They’re just business dudes running businesses. Which is completely fine and necessary in society. But we don’t walk around thanking the owners of Subway or Tim Horton’s or any other local businesses.
