Report: Gronkowski, Bautista among Golden Knights' minority owners
The Vegas Golden Knights' unlikely collection of minority owners apparently includes an NFL star, an MLB slugger, a former NHLer, and a model.
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista own shares in the NHL expansion franchise, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.
The group is also said to include Alexei Yashin, his longtime partner Carol Alt, and Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Prince Amukamara.
Former NHL forward Mark Recchi was originally granted a small stake in the team, but he will now relinquish it because of his role as a Pittsburgh Penguins development coach, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The Penguins were apparently unaware of Recchi's financial interest in the Golden Knights until being informed by the publication.
Majority owner Bill Foley revealed the name and logo of the franchise Tuesday night.
