Calgary business AltaCorp Capital Inc. (AltaCorp) announced their principal founding shareholder and CEO George Gosbee died Sunday.
In a release Monday, the company said Gosbee was “a force in the investment community and his loss will be felt by many.”
It is widely reported Gosbee led a team of mostly Calgary businessmen to purchase the National Hockey League’s Phoenix Coyotes in 2013, and helped keep the team in Arizona.
The team posted their condolences on Twitter Monday:
- B.C.’s deficit forecast up $450M to $13.8B after calculation errors on gas royalties
- TC Energy urges co-operation on growing natural gas network to meet ‘generational’ demand
- Manitoba offers to waive sales tax on major Port of Churchill investments
