Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds is set to team up with a Toronto-based real estate company in a bid to purchase National Hockey League side Ottawa Senators.
The Hollywood actor is loving life as a sporting owner, but although he's fallen in love with Wrexham and soccer, he's been interested in purchasing something a little closer to home for some time. Now those dreams have progressed into a potential reality, as he's set to team up with the Remington Group and attempt to buy the Senators.
Journalist Bruce Garrioch reported in the Ottawa Sun on Monday that Reynolds and the investment group will make a bid for the team and reportedly plan to build a new arena at LeBreton Flats, a neighbourhood in downtown Ottawa. Reynolds would be the new face of the Senators’ franchise, taking on a similar role to the one at Wrexham.
