Lightning Round: Victor Hedman buys a soccer team, well at least part of one

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman is diversifying. Not only is he a two-time Stanley Cup winner, he is now part owner of a soccer club. The Plymouth Argyle Football Club play in the EFL League One, a third-tier league in England. The Pilgrims have been in existence since 1886 and play their home games at Home Park, aka the Theatre of Greens (excellent stadium name).

Hedman and an old friend, Ondrej Palat, are part of Argyle Green LLC, a corporation founded four months ago that invested $4 million pounds into the soccer club for a 20% share.
