Point-Spreads.com is the first to report that Bodog Entertainment, the international entertainment powerhouse founded by noted Canadian Billionaire Calvin Ayre, has licensed the brand, including the use of all Bodog domains and the Bodog trademark to Morris Mohawk Gaming Group for the operation and marketing of gaming in North America.

Morris Mohawk is headed by noted first nation leader Alwyn Morris, most known for winning two medals in kayaking in the 1984 Olympics and raising the symbolic eagle feather during the medal ceremony. For this feat, he was made a member of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honor in 1985. Since then he has been involved in numerous sport, civic and business endeavors to forward the position of aboriginals in Canada. He is currently Director of the Council of Chiefs for the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake, located on the South Shore of Montréal.

“We could not have found a more perfect partner then Alwyn Morris and Morris Mohawk. Morris is a true Canadian hero,” said Calvin Ayre. “We are confident that Morris Mohawk will be able to give our North American customers the quality experience they have come to expect from Bodog.”

“Our deal with Bodog is another great addition to the business community that has developed in Kahnawake,” added Morris. “Working with the top brand in the industry will further solidify the extensive experience, knowledge base and importance of this vertical.”

Bodog continues to evolve their business model and moving into a licensing agreement with Morris Mohawk Gaming Group for all North American Gaming activities is in line with the company’s plans for international expansion. Now doing business worldwide, in some regions Bodog will continue to operate their original business model and in other areas will peruse licensing agreements in this vein.

Point-Spreads.com was told about the Bodog North American licensing deal to Morris Mohawk Gaming Group while attending the filming of the popular MMA fight series Bodog Fight in Vancouver the weekend before the Bodog domain name portfolio was seized by 1st Technology.
