the Board of Directors; @FandomSportsApp
Jeff Hunt - President and part owner of the Ottawa Redblacks football club of
the CFL
Santa Monica, California – April 6, 2017, (Investorideas.com Newswire) Fandom Sports Media Corp. (CSE: FDM)
(OTC: FDMSF)
(FRANKFURT: TQ42) (“Fandom Sports” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce that Ottawa sports entrepreneur Jeff Hunt has joined the Company as
a Director.
Jeff Hunt is one of
Canada’s best known sports executives. He is President and part owner of the
Ottawa Redblacks football club of the Canadian Football League (CFL), Governor
and part owner of the CHL’s Ottawa 67’s and a Partner in the Ottawa Sports and
Entertainment group which owns and operates Ottawa’s Lansdowne Park retail
district and manages the TD Place stadium and arena complex.
Mr. Hunt left his family home in Newfoundland for Ottawa in 1983 to start
adding form to his entrepreneurial vision.
In his first year in the new city, Jeff started a carpet cleaning firm
and over the next 15-years, franchised it, expanded into the US and sold the
thriving business to Sears. That sale, in 1998, enabled Jeff to pursue his
dream of owning and managing a hockey team, the Ottawa 67’s.
After selling-out his first home opener and winning the Memorial Cup in
his first season, Hunt built the 67’s into a thriving business. The team ranked
number one or two in OHL attendance for the next decade and never missed the
playoffs. The team's previous owner had been spending just $25,000 a year on
marketing costs, but Mr. Hunt would spend that amount every week once he became
the new owner.
Mr. Hunt’s success with the 67’s was sighted by the Canadian Football
League as an important factor in its decision to award an expansion franchise
to Ottawa. That franchise, the REDBLACKS, has since become the toast of the
town, routinely selling-out games, making it to the Grey Cup in its second year
of operation and winning the Grey Cup in 2016.
During his career, Jeff Hunt’s accomplishments have been recognized with
multiple awards, including five Profit Magazine Fast-100 and two Fast-50
awards. He has also been named OHL and Canadian Hockey League Executive of the
Year and in 2015 he was named to the Yahoo Canada Sports list of the top 25
“Movers and Shakers” who have the most influence over sport in Canada. In
January 2017, Jeff was named Ottawa’s Favorite Entrepreneur by Faces Magazine.
CEO Blair Naughty
Stated "We are extremely pleased to welcome Jeff Hunt to the Fandom

in the sports arena and a true visionary. Jeff was very intrigued with what we

sports marketing and his strong business acumen. He is well recognized as a
wonderful team owner and businessman and more importantly a quality human
