The 100 People of Power & Influence in hockey are featured in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power issue, available at THN.com/free.
At No. 54 is New York Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky.

Ledecky's philanthropy earned him – and the Islanders Children's Foundation – a humanitarian award in 2025. He's overseeing another period of on-ice transition for the franchise.
Each person on the list this year is ranked in 14 categories of job classification, from owners to players to agents, along with many more powerbrokers identified within various silos of expertise. That's all available to find in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power hockey business annual.
