Hockey Team Partner

Jet, Jan 8, 2001

HOCKEY TEAM PARTNER: Michael Jordan, president of basketball operations for the NBA's Washington Wizards, speaks to reporters in Palm Beach, FL, after the National Hockey League executive committee unanimously approved his partnership in the group that owns the Washington Capitals. Looking on are Ted Leonsis, chairman of the Washington Capitals, and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

"I get to learn another game," said Jordan. "A lot of my friends are hockey players. My kids are hockey players. They play basketball, too." Leonsis did not reveal the percentage of Jordan's ownership in the team, but Bettman said, "Michael actually owns more of the Capitals than he does the Wizards."
