NHL Owner Boycott

The NHL owners aren't worried that fans will sour on the game because of a lockout. That's fair because we probably won't.
What we can do is ensure that we don't give money to anything else that these owners own.
Full list is below, arranged by team. A lot of these are difficult and/or impractical.
There are some easy ones though:

Stores: Walmart, Rexall, Pharma Plus, IDA
Restaurants: Real Sports Bar, Denny's, Moxie's, Chop Restaurant, Little Ceasar's
Others: Secret Stadium Sauce, Comcast/NBCSports/Golf Channel, Regal Theatres/United Artists Theatres
Beacon Theatre, Radio City Music Hall

  1. Harley Hotchkiss (Flames) is deceased. And you couldn't think of any Molson (Canadiens) products to boycott???

    1. Thanks for the Flames comment - I updated that.
      For Molson - see my reply below about Molson-Coors.
      Also, Molson-Coors is terrible; I stopped drinking all of their beers years ago.

    1. Different Molson.
      Molson-Coors which owns Molson breweries has less than 0.01% of their stock owned by the Molsons who own the Canadiens.
      They really just own the Canadiens now - nothing else.
