NHL ownership issues aren't really a big story anymore with the Phoenix Coyotes saga dragging on for more than a year now. Ken Campbell of the Hockey News brings up an issue that may affect the Minnesota Wild in the future though:
Are The Minnesota Wild Going To Have Ownership Issues?
↵↵[Philip] Falcone, who owns 40 percent of the Wild and is the team’s alternate governor, appears to be in a fair amount of hot water with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC and the district attorney’s office in New York are investigating, among other things, a $113-million loan Falcone took out from his hedge fund, Harbinger Capital Partners of New York, to pay a tax bill.
↵↵To be fair to Wild fans, Craig Leopold is the majority owner of the Wild and has been since 2008. If something were to happen to Falcone, the Wild would still be alive and just have to find more minority investors. Ownership issues continue to plague the NHL at times and is something that the league can’t seem to get away from.
