I'd "eat crow" if they are involved - one of the reasons I've doubted it is that hockey seems out of character for that family ("old money").
To be fair, the Richardson name was brought up a lot longer ago than that. I'd been hearing about them as saviours at least 10 years ago. Thomson is the relatively new player here (although not that new for folks who've been paying attention - IIRC he bought into TNSE about 3 years ago).
