I would dig into the books and publicly announce what the team earned year over year, off the backs of their fans.

I would implement that ownership can only profit 10% annually on costs, the rest to be reinvested back into the team and or savings in concessions, ticket prices, and community.

Transparency would get buy-in from the community, and I would sell 35% back to local stakeholders to earn the same 10% dividend.

I would then have so much public support, I would run for Mayor and win. Then I would convince the city to give me, its Mayor, 100% of the funding needed to build my 1 Billion Dollar Hockey Mecca. Thus attracting the best players on the planet, leading to cup after cup and millions of dollars of local investment back into the community.
