Snoop Dogg, The Weeknd Lose Bid to Become First Black NHL Owners After Ottawa Senators Sale to Rival Investment Group

Snoop Dogg, The Weeknd Lose Bid to Become First Black NHL Owners After Ottawa Senators Sale to Rival Investment Group

Snoop Dogg and The Weeknd have expanded their brands in dozens of unique and intersting ways, from investing in tech, hawking clothing lines, books and wine to starring in HBO dramas. But the one business the pair have not yet been able to crack is the NHL.

Snoop was part of a group assembled by L.A.-based entrepreneur Neko Sparks in a bid to purchase the Ottawa Senators, while Toronto-bed The Weeknd (who now goes by his birth name, Abel Tesfaye) reportedly joined a rival bid led by hometown billionaires Jeffrey and Michael Kimel of Harlo Capital Group. Both men were hoping to be the first Black owners of an NHL franchise.

While Tesfaye is a Toronto native and avowed hockey fan with ties to Ottawa and Snoop teamed with the NHL in 2018 for the weekly video series “Hockey 101 With Snoop Dogg,” neither man — nor actor Ryan Reynolds, who was also reportedly part of one of half dozen bidding groups — made the final cut.

According to ESPN, the A-list power was not enough to win out in the end, with the Senators board of directors announcing on Tuesday that a group led by Andlauer Healthcare Group CEO Michael Andlauer put in the successful bid at nearly $1 billion; the board has not yet disclosed the final terms of the deal. Andlauer, 57, who also owns the Ontario Hockey League’s Brantford Bulldogs, will have to divest in his 10% stake in the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens team as part of the pact.

“My family and I are very excited to be part of the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club,” Andlauer said in a statement according to ESPN. “I believe that the Senators’ fanbase is one of the most passionate in the league, and I’m excited to take the franchise’s success — both on and off the ice — to the next level.”

The site reported that Andlauer’s bid edged the one from the Kimels, as well as the one from Sparks, which was said to be “underfunded.” The losing bid came after Snoop openly coveted the team on his socials, writing on Instagram in May, “amazing what @neko_sparks is trying to do in Ottawa & I’m looking forward to being apart of that ownership team. I WANNA BRING HOCKEY TO OUR COMMUNITY.”

Bluetti's Charger 2 uses solar and engine power to charge your portable battery

Bluetti's Charger 2 uses solar and engine power to charge your portable battery

If you�re off-roading, it�s a neat idea to use your engine to top up your battery, which prompted Bluetti to launch the Charger. You could hook it to your alternator and draw off energy as you drove to make sure you turned up to your campsite with full batteries. But if you�re also toting around solar panels on your roof, then it�s a shame you can�t also use that power to top up. This omission is what prompted Bluetti to turn up to CES 2026 with the Charger 2, which will take power from your engine and your solar panels at the same time.

Bluetti says the Charger 2�s dual-input architecture will accept 600W from the panels, 800W from the engine. All of that power will charge your batteries significantly faster than the first model, claiming it�s 13 times faster than a standard car charger. In addition, Charger 2 can manage more than one Bluetti power station and expansion batteries, should your power needs stretch. And the system is smart enough to know where the energy is coming from, managing the sources based on their availability. Plus, you can use it to jump start your engine should you need the help.
