A report in the Boston Globe states Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs has relinquished ownership of the team. According the the Globe, Jacobs' six children are the new owners, although the father will still retain some of the profits.
“I have given it to my kids,” Jacobs told the Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont. “They are paying me some of the proceeds that come out of this. It happened this year. This was done on the basis that the longevity is going to continue in the hands of the Jacobs children, and the next generation will have it.”
The 79-year-old Jacobs purchased the Boston Bruins in 1975 for around $10 million. The billionaire's company, Delaware North “manages and provides food and beverage concessions, premium dining, entertainment, lodging, and retail at many large venues … [including] sports stadiums, entertainment complexes, national and state parks, airports, and casinos.”
Delaware North also owns TD Garden, the Bruins' home base.
Jacobs' children include three sons and three daughters; Jerry Jr., Lou, and Charlie, Lisann, Lynn, and Katie. Charlie Jacobs has served as the CEO and alternate governor of the team for several years, and he's also the founder and chairman of the Boston Bruins Foundation.
Jeremy Jacobs was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a contributor in 2017.
