“Two years ago, you weren’t really thinking about this,” said Rob Tilliss, chief executive officer of Inner Circle Sports, a boutique investment bank that works within the sports and entertainment spheres. The company has worked with several professional sports teams, including the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens. “Now (as a business executive with a Canadian team) you’re thinking about hedging strategies. You’re thinking about how much of my revenue is contractual season tickets versus day-of-game tickets. “As the Canadian dollar declines, you have to adjust your budget. They’re all probably reassessing their budgets for the next year or two.” This might be a particular issue for the Toronto Raptors, the lone Canadian NBA team. Rogers’ purchase of Bell’s shares in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the group that owns the Raptors, Maple Leafs, Toronto FC, among other teams and facilities, is expected to close in the middle of this year. That deal will give Rogers 75 percent control of MLSE. Rogers also owns the Toronto Blue Jays, although not under the MLSE umbrella. Rogers is a publicly traded company, and its stock price has fallen from more than $50 in December, to currently being under $40. Raptors president Masai Ujiri has never complained about MLSE’s financial support for the team, but these are unfamiliar, if not unprecedented, times.
