The rapper is part of a bid spearheaded by Los Angeles-based businessman Neko Sparks.

Snoop Dogg posted a video to Instagram yesterday in a recording studio and wearing an Ottawa Senators jersey.

He said in the video that he and Sparks were “trying to do something, trying to make a difference” with the bid.
