Nick is investing a lot of his Winnipeg Aurora salary back into the community that's been supporting his team.. He has been buying land to create some low-income housing and shelters for Winnipeg's downtrodden, so they can have safe places to live during a brutal winter and even more brutal economic state.

Nick has also invested in local businesses, investing a six-figure sum in a local beef jerky company called Cory and Trevor's Meat Co. (You can't beat their meat.). Nick is a noted beef jerky aficionado, and feels the company has potential for future growth.

Unbeknownst to many reporters and Revenue Canada bean counters however, Nick's other investment has been slightly more sinister and a lot more private. Nick is said to have pumped millions of dollars into pharmaceutical giant BioSynchroSynthesis Inc., the primary producer of the controversial (but legal) performance enhancing drug known as Total Pectoral Energizing (or TPE for short). Nick, along with many other top SHL stars, is heavily reliant on this drug to perform at the high level that Winnipeg fans are accustomed to. Nick's investments into the production of TPE is expected to continue for as long as he remains active as an SHLer.
