From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
N. Murray Edwards has been the principal owner of the
Calgary Flames since 1980. He is the third longest tenured owner in the National Hockey League.
The following is a list of current
National Hockey League franchise owners.
All of the NHL's teams use some form of
holding company for the team's assets, sometimes through multiple layers of corporations, which are all listed in the "Operating Entities" column. The "Principal Owner(s)" column lists the majority or plurality owner(s) of the team or, in the case of teams held by publicly held corporations, the corporation's chairman.
Each team has a representative on the
NHL Board of Governors , the league's ruling and governing body, listed in the "NHL Governor" column; for most teams, this is the majority or plurality owner of the club.
