Reynolds has a strong connection to the Canadian capital. “I love Ottawa. I spent a long time in Vanier, which is a little town inside Ottawa.”
TSN hockey contributor Bruce Garrioch said “I believe Ryan Reynolds is surrounded by bankers this evening. Some of those bankers are from Inner Circle Sports who did the deal that he did from Wrexham AFC, the football club he bought in Wales,” Garrioch told TSN during the Senators broadcast. “What’s interesting about Inner Circle Sports is that they represented Eugene Melnyk in his refinancing of this team in 2013.”
The Senators confirmed last week that the organization is for sale following the death of long-time owner Eugene Melnyk who passed away in March at 62 and owned the Sens since 2003 with a condition the team must remain in Ottawa.
