Coyote assistant ran gambling ring linked to Gretzky era
Police say Rick Tocchet, Detroit born coach and Wayne Gretzky's friend, helped run a nationwide sports gambling ring based in New Jersey. Janet Jones and about six NHL players allegedly bet on football and basketball, not hockey, with over 1000 betting papers totaling more than 1.7 million dollars. Tocchet faces charges of promoting gambling money laundering and conspiracy while Gretzky defends Tocchet as innocent until proven guilty.
