A question from a reader.

Hey pens fans,
The question is "Just wondering who are the actual owners of the penguins?I know Mario is part of it but who else are in the silent partnership."
Well, this is what I can tell you. The Penguins are owned by Mario Lemieux and the Lemieux Group LP. The identities of the Lemieux group are ot readily known. I do however know that many if not all of them were other creditors owed by the team at the time of the backruptcy in 1999. I have spent sometime trying to find wo they are and have not been able to find anyting definite, as of yet. Mario Lemieux is the majority owner and the owner with the active role in the day to day operations of the team. The group is basically a silent in the partnership. I will keep trying to find out who they are. I am sorry I could not answer all of your question. If I find out I will post it and lt you know. Also feel free to post your questions in comments or email them to me @ pensfan17148@msn.com annd I will try to answer them on the blog.
