F*** off
My point that there are teams directly, or indirectly, publicly traded is wrong?
Leafs are owned at least partially by companies that are publicly traded.
Unbelievable you really are.

The Flyers are also indirectly publicly traded, and are probably a better example; they're wholly owned by Comcast, through their Comcast Spectacor subsidiary.

After seeing that Wikipedia page - the question should have been reversed -
How many NHL teams have more than one principal owner? - Four would be the answer.

Not sure what you're looking at, but the Jets have two principal owners. They are owned by True North Sports and Entertainment which is last I checked a 50/50 partnership between Mark Chipman and The Thomson Family (of which David Thomson controls most if not all). So while Chipman is the more vocal frontman, Thomson is the money backing for the Jets (his family is worth an estimated 27.2 Billion)
