Tocchet, a former NHL star, was served with a criminal complaint Monday and was expected to travel from his Arizona home to answer charges of promoting gambling, money laundering and conspiracy, state police Col. Rick Fuentes said.Authorities say Tocchet and a state police Trooper were partners in the operation, with the ex-NHL forward providing the funding.
Fuentes said an investigation 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 baseball. He declined to identify the NHL players who made wagers.
I bet (no pun intended) that the authorities will want to take a close look at those games Tocchet coached while Wayne attended to his dying mother.

Hey, welcome back.
As I noted over out our place, Janet Gretzky was apparently also implicated. Yikes!
Wow, Gretzky's "bettor" half is involved. Amazing.
I don't see anything wrong with online gambling as long as their are safeguards in place to protect problem gamblers. When you play online, you can play at your own pace, with no noise, no smoking, and lower stakes.
