Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner filed for bankruptcy last month, citing up to $50 million worth of debt.
Lehner and his wife, Donya, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Dec. 30 in federal court because of business-related debt, according to the documents. On Friday, the Lehners requested hearings be delayed until Feb. 3 while they gather their financial statements for court.
The Lehners said they have fewer than 50 people or companies they owe money to, and they estimated their assets were worth $1 million to $10 million.
They said their Plato, Missouri, reptile farm would need immediate attention because of the exotic pets that live on property. It was unclear if they owned any other businesses.
The couple is being represented by Matthew Zirzow, who could not be reached for comment. The Knights deferred comment to Lehner’s attorney.
Lehner, 31, has not played this season after undergoing surgery on both hips. He signed a five-year, $25 million contract with the Knights in October 2020.
The notice of bankruptcy filing was served to more than 100 companies Friday, including dozens of banks and several businesses in Sweden and Norway.
