LAS VEGAS \u2013 Former Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner, now with the Vegas Golden Knights, and his wife have filed for bankruptcy in Nevada, citing up to $50 million in debts to dozens of creditors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing offers a glimpse into the couple’s financial problems, including money owed to no fewer than 50 people and companies, the\u00a0Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n They filed for bankruptcy Dec. 30, months after a Wisconsin company sued Lehner for $4 million, claiming the NHL player and his father failed to make any payments last year on a business loan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Both Lehner and his father, Michael, are listed as principal members in a Nevada business license filing for Solarcode, a limited liability corporation doing business in multiple states, including Nevada and Arizona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Solarcode in January 2022 agreed to a four-year repayment plan with Eclipse Service but missed its first five payments, leading the Wisconsin company in late June 2022 to sue in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n An attorney for Lehner did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment from The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lehner’s debts also included missed payments for a collection of rare snakes he purchased for $1.2 million in 2017, according to the bankruptcy filing. Lehner keeps the snakes at his reptile farm in Plato, Missouri.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He and his wife, Donya, estimate their assets are worth up to $10 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lehner, 31, signed a five-year, $25 million contract with the Knights in 2020, but the Swedish hockey player has spent the 2022-23 season\u00a0recovering from hip surgery.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
