Jeffrey Vanderbeek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeffrey Vanderbeek is the owner of the New Jersey Devils, a professional ice hockey team in the National Hockey League. Vanderbeek, a New Jersey native and Devils season ticket holder since the late 1980s, became a minority owner when Puck Holdings, an affiliate of YankeeNets, purchased the team in 2000. In 2004 he bought the team outright and resigned his position as an executive vice president of Lehman Brothers,[1] whom he joined in 1984.[2] He was ranked the ninth highest paid executive of 2002 by Business Week with pay totaling over $29 million.[3] Vanderbeek has been a strong proponent of the Newark Arena,[4] which is expected to open in 2007.[5]
