The owner of sports drink company BioSteel says it has filed for creditor protection in the U.S. and Canada and is trying to find a buyer for the business.

Ontario-based Canopy Growth, the largest cannabis company in North America, said in a press release Thursday that it has ceased funding BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. and that BioSteel has commenced proceedings under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act.

BioSteel was founded in Toronto in 2009 by entrepreneur John Celenza and then-NHLer Mike Cammalleri.

But it spent more than $40 million to book those sales, including about $12 million in advertising and promotional costs related to the National Hockey League sponsorship.While companies do often shut down completely as a result of CCAA proceedings, they don't always.
