海角社区官网police say investigators with the guns and gangs task force believe the attack was targeted. But Dovigi has pushed back against that theory in his comments to media this week.

When reached by phone Thursday, he declined to elaborate on why he believes the police account is wrong and added he had no idea what to make of the shooting.

Police have said the incident is connected to another shooting that occurred about an hour later, around 1 a.m. on Monday morning. Shots were fired into the door of a home near Bayview Avenue and York Mills Road, about seven kilometres from the first shooting.

The investigation is ongoing and investigators believe the two shootings “are connected and were targeted,” police spokesperson Stephanie Sayer said in an email.

Earlier this week, the Globe and Mail reported that the house involved in the second shooting belongs to one of Dovigi’s associates. Dovigi, however, told the National Post that reports of a targeted, connected series of attacks were wrong and suggested the shooting at his home could have been a random attempted robbery.

鈥淭his is not the Sopranos,” he told the Post.

A retired RCMP officer who specialized in organized crime investigations said it’s unlikely a home in the Rosedale neighbourhood would be targeted for a random break-in.

Houses in the posh midtown neighbourhood routinely have plenty of security cameras, he said.

鈥淵ou might have one minute on the floor (of the house),鈥� he said.

The former officer also said he鈥檚 curious what 鈥� if anything 鈥� happens next.

Dovigi has come a long way in a short time from his beginnings as a professional hockey goalie from Sault Ste. Marie. He was drafted by the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers in 1997 and founded his waste-management company 10 years later, after attending business school at 海角社区官网Metropolitan University and working at a real estate investment firm.

鈥淪ince then, drawing on the discipline he learned in his earlier hockey career,鈥疨atrick has driven GFL to become the fourth largest environmental services company in North America,鈥� People in Business magazine reports.

Dovigi, who rang the opening bell on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 2020, has an estimated net worth of more than $1 billion. His name surfaced in 2023 as a potential serious candidate to buy the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League.

Dovigi was reportedly out of the country at the time multiple shots were fired into his Rosedale home. Dovigi also reportedly has residences in New York, Miami and Aspen, as well as a private island in Muskoka that he accesses via seaplane. In September, he paid $59.75 million (U.S) for Newberry House, a 7,900 square foot residence in Aspen, Colo., once owned by actor Jack Nicholson.
