Arthur Griffiths Leads Bid to Purchase Vancouver Whitecaps

Former Vancouver Canucks and Grizzlies owner Arthur Griffiths is heading a group that has submitted a formal offer to buy the MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The bid was confirmed by Sportsnet broadcaster Dan Murphy, who said the offer could keep the team in Vancouver after months of uncertainty about a possible sale and relocation.

Griffiths, who has deep ties to Vancouver sports and helped secure the 2010 Winter Olympics, has been discussed as a potential buyer for several months. While details of the ownership group remain undisclosed, the move is welcomed by Whitecaps supporters seeking long‑term stability for the club.
