Cleary: No Betting on Hockey
From the NY Times:
“It does not appear to us that there has been betting on hockey games at all,” the prosecutor, Robert J. Cleary, said in a telephone interview.
Cleary was retained Wednesday by Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the N.H.L., to investigate whether a betting ring that law-enforcement officials said was based in New Jersey and financed by the Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet might have influenced games.
It simply confirms what all have been saying all along, including those involved with the state’s investigation.
