from Lightning Strikes,
A last bit of intrigue concerns the acquisition of wing Matt Pettinger, an investor in owner Len Barrie’s Bear Mountain resort in Victoria, British Columbia. Barrie said Pettinger is a “very minor” investor and their relationship had “zero” to do with acquiring him.
Vice president of hockey operations, Brian Lawton, said Barrie told him, “I’ve known him for X number of years but you have to go with what our scouts and say and what our management says. Yes he does like him and he was very forthright about that. But it’s not at a point where he is making that decision for the hockey club.”
Wing Gary Roberts and special assistant Mike Vernon also are investors. Asked about making hockey decisions based on his business connectuions, Barrie joked, “I wish it could be because we’d have a Hall of Fame team.”
