NORTHWEST SPORTS ATTRIBUTES LOSSES TO "HIGH COST" OF CANUCKS

          The "high cost" of running the Canucks meant a record
     loss of C$21.2M this year for parent Northwest Sports
     Enterprises Ltd., according to Keith Damsell in the EDMONTON
     SUN.  Northwest Sports Chair Stan McCamm: "The main factor
     contributing to the loss ... is the continued increase in
     players' salaries."  For the 12 months ended June 30,
     Northwest lost C$21.2M compared with a loss of C$9.5M for
     the same period a year ago.  Kevin Gass, a spokesperson for
     Orca Bay Sports & Entertainment, which owns 86% of
     Northwest, said that in the long term, the company hopes to
     better manage players' salaries and improve broadcasting and
     sponsorship revenue (EDMONTON SUN, 11/12).
