Gambling Rink

Phoenix Coyotes Assistant coach Rick Tocchet was indicted for financing a national gambling ring. A four-month undercover investigation dubbed "Operation Slap Shot" into the New Jersey-based ring discovered the processing of more than 1,000 wagers, exceeding $1.7 million, on professional and college sports, mostly football and basketball in a 40-day period.
6 NHL players are reportedly involved, as is Janet Gretzky (nee Jones) the wife of Coyotes Coach Wayne Gretzky.
Authorities are not accusing players of betting on hockey.
