In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump has addressed circulating rumors about him purchasing the entire National Hockey League (NHL). The speculation sparked widespread attention on social media after some outlets suggested Trump was exploring the possibility of acquiring the league. Trump, however, has made it clear that these rumors are baseless and that he has no intention of buying the NHL.
Speaking out on the matter, Trump emphasized that while he has no issues with the Montreal Canadiens, who were reportedly eager for his involvement, he was not interested in owning the league. “I have no intention of buying the NHL. The Canadiens may want it, but that’s not something I’m pursuing,” Trump said in a recent interview. His comments come amid growing intrigue around his business ventures, especially considering his history of high-profile acquisitions and media presence.
Trump’s involvement in the sports world has been a subject of discussion for years. He previously owned the New Jersey Generals, a team in the defunct United States Football League (USFL) during the 1980s, but has not been associated with the NHL. His comments are intended to put an end to the rumors, reassuring fans and sports enthusiasts that he is not currently seeking to enter the hockey world in this capacity.
The speculation surrounding Trump’s potential purchase of the NHL initially gained traction after fans and media outlets began linking his name to the league, fueled by various online posts and discussions. Despite the buzz, Trump’s clear statement has put the rumors to rest, reiterating that he has no plans to invest in hockey or the NHL in the foreseeable future.
As the sports world continues to evolve, it seems Trump will remain focused on his existing ventures, leaving the NHL to its current owners.
