Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff and Penny Vinik to divorce
Quick Glance: Tampa Bay Lightning Owner Jeff and Penny Vinik to Divorce
  • After nearly four decades of marriage, Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and his wife, Penny, two of the region’s most prolific philanthropists, say they are divorcing. A spokesperson confirmed the divorce will not impact the ownership or operations of the NHL team.

  • The couple’s impact is felt across Tampa Bay, from donations to cultural institutions to roles on civic boards. Jeff Vinik, 64, played a key role in developing Water Street Tampa, transforming downtown Tampa into a vibrant neighborhood with upscale residences and trendy restaurants.

  • Friday’s announcement comes almost four years after Penny Vinik, now 61, filed for divorce in 2020, citing irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. They reconciled, ending the divorce proceedings months later.

  • The couple met in Cambridge, marrying in 1987. Jeff, known for his work at Fidelity Investments, and Penny have four children.
