This article in today's Edmonton Journal reports on the top 100 richest Canadians. At 79th is Brick furniture store founder Bill Comrie, father to former Oiler and current Phoenix Coyote Mike Comrie:
Another Edmontonian on the list, the Brick's Bill Comrie is listed in 79th spot this year, down from his ranking of 72 last year, with estimated assets of $471 million, down from $479 million.
Seeing as Mike was considered a "hometown hero", I guess it really rankled when he didn't play well then couldn't agree on a new contract so demanded to be traded. I mean, I can understand you want to make it on your own and not rely on your dad, but the average person probably just sees him as not your average greedy pro athlete but an exceptionally greedy one, coming from a family with that kind of money.
And in other hockey news, I really hope Mario's ok...
