Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik, in a long-anticipated move, has sold a portion of the hockey team and will step down from day-to-day operations in the coming years.
The team announced the move Thursday, but reports that a sale was in the works had been public — and quietly confirmed — since early August.
The sale was approved by the National Hockey League’s Board of Governors earlier this month.
