Lightning make a move at the top

The Tampa Bay Lightning put in place a new ownership group consisting of eight people on Monday.

Oren Koules, a Hollywood producer, heads up the team which is expected to finalize the sale from Bill Davidson and Palace Sports & Entertainment on June 30.

The new ownership is also highlighted by Len Barrie who is a real estate developer and a former NHL player. The rest of the team includes a partner of Koules at Evolution Entertainment, Mark Burg, attorney and investment banker Russell Belinsky, advertising executive Jordan Zimmerman, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard C. Lehman, furniture retailer and chief executive officer of Kane's Furniture Irwin Novack, and Craig Sher, Executive Chairman of St. Petersburg-based The Sembler Company.

"This is a great day for Tampa Bay and for the Lightning," said Koules.
