NHL Rumors: The Weeknd Joins Ownership Group Seeking to Purchase Ottawa Senators

Investors continue to add some big names to their bidding groups for the Ottawa Senators.

After rapper and actor Snoop Dogg joined Neko Sparks' bidding group to purchase the Sens earlier this week, Canadian singer and songwriter The Weeknd has agreed to join the bidding group led by Toronto billionaires Jeffrey and Michael Kimel of the Harlo Capital Group, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

The Weeknd, who's real name is Abel Tesfaye, wanted to join the bidding group because "he grew up in Toronto, loves hockey, has ties to the Ottawa area and believes there's a chance to be part of something special here," according to Garrioch.
