Chicago's Hoffmann family plans to purchase the Penguins from Fenway Sports Group, according to Wednesday afternoon reports from Emily Kaplan of ESPN and veteran NHL reporter Frank Seravalli.
Fenway Sports Group has owned Pittsburgh since 2021, when it purchased the franchise from businessman Ron Burkle and Hall of Fame center Mario Lemieux—a duo credited with preserving the Penguins amid bankruptcy and relocation speculation in the early 21st century.
