RWMc1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 "Almost all of the owners (/owning entities) of NHL teams have large stakes in other businesses. By uniting a large group of NHL fans to start a boycott of at least some of these businesses, right now, we may be able to influence the owners in some way. At the very least, we can let them know that their actions are affecting us in a negative way, so we have the ability and power to do the same to them. Here is a list of NHL owners (from http://icehockey.wik...t_of_NHL_Owners), and other businesses that they have a large stake in. You may be surprised at some of the names - if not the sheer quantity: Henry Samueli - Anaheim Ducks Broadcom Corporation - Computer & Telecommunications Networking Jeremy Jacobs - Boston Bruins Chairman of Delaware North Companies (hospitality and food service company) Terrence Pegula - Buffalo Sabres Owns the AHL Rocester Americans. N. Murray Edwards - Calgary Flames Owns Canadian Natural Resources (oilsands development). Also owns Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, which owns Fernie Alpine Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort, Nakiska, Stoneham Mountain Resort, and Mont-Sainte-Anne, Kicking Horse Resort. Peter Karmanos - Carolina Hurricanes Owns Compuware, large business software developer Rocky Wirtz - Chicago Blackhawks Rocky oversees Wirtz Corporation's commercial and residential real estate companies, wine distributor Wirtz Beverage Group, an insurance company and banks in Illinois and Florida. Wirtz is also the co-chairman of the Executive Committee of the United Center. Stan Kroenke - Colorado Avalanche Owns Kroenke Sports Enterprises, which in addition to the AVS, controls the Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Rapids (MLS), Colorado Mammoth (NLL) and St. Louis Rams (NFL). JMAC Inc. - Columbus Blue Jackets n/a Tom Gaglardi - Dallas Stars Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Sandman Hotels, Inns & Suites and Moxie's Restaurants, LP. Also part owner of Kamloops Blazers. Mike Ilitch - Detroit Red Wings Also owns Little Cesars Pizza and the Detroit Tigers. Rexall Sports (of Katz Group) - Edmonton Oilers Owns over 1800 pharmacies in Canada, under the names: Rexall, Herbie's for Drug and Food, Meditrust Pharmacy, Pharma Plus, Super Drug Mart, and Dell Pharmacies. Cliff Viner (& Stu Siegel?) - Florida Panthers Cliff Viner is a general partner with AVM, LP a fixed income broker/dealer, and III Associates, a fixed income derivatives money management firm. Last I heard, Stu Siegel sold his shares in the team. Philip Anschutz & Edward Roski Jr. - Los Angeles Kings Philip Anschutz owns or has stakes in MLS teams LA Galaxy, Chicago Fire, Houston Dynamo, San Jose Earthquakes, and the NY/NJ Metro Stars; Los Angeles Lakers; Staples Center and O2 Arena; and the Home Depot Center. Ed Roski is also a part owner of the Lakers, and owns the Silverton Casino Lodge in Las Vegas. Craig Leipold - Minnesota Wild Leipold's companies own the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville, and the Houston Aeros AHL team. They also manage the Xcel Energy Center and the Saint Paul RiverCentre. Molson Family - Montreal Canadiens Molson is a big invester in the NHL (for many teams), besides owning a cornerstone franchise. Their beers include Canadian, Coors, Ice, Golden, Export, Dry, XXX, Stock Ale, Rickard's, Pilsner, Carling, Keystone, Bohemian, and Calgary Export. Owns partial stakes in the Brazilian brands A Marca Bavaria and Kaiser. In Canada, has the marketing and selling rights for Corona, Heineken, and Miller brands. Predators Holdings LLC - Nashville Predators Owns and operates Bridgestone arena. Jeffrey Vanderbeek - New Jersey Devils Owns the Prudential Center (but maybe not for long!) Charles Wang - New York Islanders Owner of CA Technologies (systems software developer) and the Bridgport Sound Tigers AHL team. James Dolan - New York Rangers Also President and CEO of Cablevision Systems Corporation (only operates in NYC - unrelated to Cablevision Canada). Eugene Melnyk - Ottawa Senators He is the founder, and former chairman and CEO of Biovail Corporation (Parmaceuticals), which merged with merged with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International in 2010. Its major products include Cesamet (nabilone), Efudex, Mestinon, Diastat, and Ribavirin. Comcast-Spectator - Philadelphia Flyers Comcast is a major Internet/Cable/Phone provider in the US. NHL - Phoenix Coyotes Hah! Mario Lemieux & Ron Burkle - Pittsburgh Penguins Ron Burkle has his fingers in a lot of pies. Some of the major ones are: 20.7% stake in Americold Realty Trust; major invester in Sean John clothing line; small stakes of Barnes & Noble and American Apparel. Significant stake in Relativity Media, which produced such films as Let Me In, Limitless, Machine Gun Preacher, Mirror Mirror, The Raven, and upcoming releases such as The House at the End of the Street, Movie 43, and Safe Haven. Sports Capital Partners - St. Louis Blues Owns Real Madrid! Also Real Salt Lake (MLS), Peoria Rivermen (AHL), Scottrade Center, Peabody Opera House, KALL700 Sports Radio, and Tupelo-Honey productions. Sharks Entertainment Enterprises - San Jose Sharks Owns the HP Pavillion and Worcester Sharks. Also a minority shareholder in the San Jose Earthquakes (MLS). Jeff Vinik - Tampa Bay Lightning Also owns the Tampa Bay Storm. Minority owner of the Boston Red Sox. Also on board of directors for Liverpool Football Club. M.L.S.E - Toronto Maple Leafs Also owns the Raptors, Marlies (AHL), Toronto FC (MLS), Air Canada Centre, Ricoh Coliseum, BMO Field, Mastercard Centre, and Real Sports. Canucks Sports and Entertainment - Vancouver Canucks Also owns Rogers Arena. But it is 100% owned by Aquilini Investment Group, which owns/operates: multi-storey residential developments in Vancouver including the King Edward Village, Richards Living tower, and Maynards Block; proponent of the proposed $2.6B Garibaldi at Squamish resort; half ownership of Halifax-based Pacrim Hospitality Services, which owns and manages 30 hotels across Canada, and all Pizza Hut locations in BC; creator and producer of Bassano Hard Soda. Ted Leonsis - Washington Capitals Also majority owner of majority owner of the Washington Wizards (NBA), Washington Mystics (WNBA) and the Verizon Center. Founder and Chairman of SnagFilms, which offers ad-supported documentaries. Vice chairman of Groupon and on the board of American Express. True North Sports and Entertainment - Winnipeg Jets Owns and operates the MTS Centre, and the St. John's Ice Caps (AHL). Now, obviously every person will not be a direct consumer of these companies. However, I am going to make my own "boycott list". I encourage any of you to do the same. So, if a lockout is declared on September 15th, I will begin a boycott of the following: - All beers produced/distributed by Molson (no Heinekin or Corona) - Rexall drugs (normally gets around $50/month from me) - Moxies - Little Cesars - Pizza Hut (BC) - Sandman Hotels - All films produced by Relativity Media - Premiership games with Liverpool or Real Madrid, merchandise for either team - Will try to influence brother-in-law to boycott St. Louis Rams (he's a huge fan) - Fernie Alpine Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort, Nakiska, Stoneham Mountain Resort, and Kicking Horse Resort (I go to Kicking Horse every year) - No events at Rogers Arena when I'm in Vancouver (I catch concerts here) - Bassano Hard Soda (will tell everyone it's terrible) Feel free to spread this by any means possible. I am going to start tweeting information/etc. using hashtag #fanlockout." from the thread BETTER KNOW A BOYCOTT by D-Money I encourage people to copy/paste this in a Word file and print it out then post it on as many bulletin boards as possible. I also encourage people to post this on social media sites. Band-wagoners and fair-weather fans can have their apathy. Show that you care. It will give you something to do.

Ghostsof1915 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well there's one good side effect of the lockout.

nuck nit Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hockey will always be and as NHL owners do not like this idea and would like everyone to suffer so they get richer I suggest AHL hockey as it is a great pro league without these Billionaire Bully issues (with a front man like Bettman that everybody loathes even the sight of). What we really find distasteful is NH league owners that hijack the game with their bully tactics ,weasel/rat style. How many times does this have to go on before the owners start dealing with each other to save the game of NHL hockey from becoming an even greater,selfish joke?
