Hoffmann Group introduces itself as new owner of Penguins

The Hoffmann Group held a press conference on June 25, 2026, announcing their acquisition of the Pittsburgh Penguins, following final approval from the NHL Board of Governors. David Hoffmann emphasized a commitment to winning and supporting team executives, including general manager Kyle Dubas and head coach Dan Muse. The family's plans include aligning their ECHL affiliate, the Florida Everglades, with the Penguins, marking the end of a longstanding relationship with the Wheeling Nailers. The Hoffmanns also expressed interest in having Mario Lemieux reintegrated into the organization after a less active role during the previous ownership period.
