Despite the denial of some people, the Montreal Canadiens are indeed for sale and there are 10 potential buyers interested in owning the historic hockey club.  The Bank of Montreal is confirming that these buyers have signed confidentiality agreements allowing them to review the team’s financial records. Some rumored investors include the Caisse de dépôt et placement (in charge of the province’s pension fund), Guy Laliberté (owner of Cirque du Soleil), René Angelil (husband and manager of Céline Dion), Claridge Investment House, media giant Quebecor, Joey Saputo (owner of the Montreal Impact soccer team), Roustan Capital, the Molson family, Spectrum Equity and the Aldo Group.  As if that’s not enough, GM Serge Savard has said that he and a group of partners are interested and prepared to buy the NHL franchise. I’m not surprised.  Who wouldn’t want to own the Habs?  They are an amazing team, they often make the playoffs, they have a great fanbase and they just celebrated their 100th anniversary! image: TSN
