Vegas Golden Knights goalie Robin Lehner files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, cites $50M in debt

Lehner kept a $1.2M collection of rare snakes at his reptile farm

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner and his wife, Donya, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, owing $50 million in debts to multiple creditors.

Online filings reveal the couple 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.

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.

Eclipse Service sued Solarcade for nearly $4 million in June 2022 after the latter missed the first five payments on a four-year agreement.

Lehner, of Sweden, also missed payments on a collection of rare snakes, which he keeps housed at his reptile farm in Missouri, which cost $1.2 million.

In 2020, Lehner signed a 5-year, $25 million pact with the Golden Knights.
