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] which 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 Prudential Center, which hosted its first New Jersey Devils hockey game on October 27, 2007.[4][5] He currently resides in Warren, New Jersey
