Ryan Reynolds could be the next owner of an NHL team.
The Deadpool actor, 46, has expressed interest in purchasing the Ottawa Senators if the team is sold. A native of Vancouver, Reynolds would make the purchase to keep the team in Ottawa, according to a report.

The Senators are owned by the Melnyk family, who have reportedly been exploring the team’s sale. Anna and Olivia Melnyk, daughters of late Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, are speculated to put up the team for sale in the coming months, according to the report.
If Reynolds does buy the team, it would not be his first dalliance with owning a sports team. The megastar purchased the Welsh football club Wrexham AFC with Rob McElhenney in 2021. That journey is being chronicled in the FX series Welcome to Wrexham.
