DeVos: "We're just fortunate that Orlando's been a great place to have a team, with the community support here from the fans and from the sponsorship side. It's outstanding. They've been with us through our ups-and-downs, and we've always appreciated that about Orlando."

[10] He is the majority owner, president, and CEO of the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL). The team won the league championship, the Calder Cup, in 2013 and 2017. After the series clinching game on the team's home ice at Van Andel Arena in 2017, DeVos spoke with the Grand Rapids Press, saying, "What a great way to finish it. In front of a packed house celebrating a title after a great game. Grand Rapids showed again what a great hockey town it is."[11]
