New Jersey Devils forward Ondrej Palat and Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Victor Hedman are apart of an investor group that have paid $4.8 million USD for a 20% stake in English football club Plymouth Argyle.
"I have been a football fan my entire life and I am very excited to join Argyle as an investor and as a supporter. What Simon and the team are building at Argyle is remarkable and reminds me of what we have built in Tampa with the Lightning," Victor Hedman said.
He added, "It is a dream come true to be part of two organizations that are focused on achieving success at the highest level and sustaining that success for years to come."
Plymouth Argyle were founded in 1886 and currently compete in League One, which is the third step on the English football pyramid, two steps below the Premier League. The 2022-23 League One season began a couple of weeks ago, with Plymouth Argyle winning their first game of the new campaign 1-0 over Barnsley.
