Tocchet back to philly brings up memories. One is that old 2006 gambling ring bust (aka Operation Slapshot) involving a Philadelphia crime family....

Quote:
Wayne Gretzky's wife and about a half-dozen NHL players allegedly placed bets -- but not on hockey -- with a nationwide sports gambling ring financed by Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet, authorities said Tuesday......The investigation also revealed alleged ties to the Bruno-Scarfo crime family in Philadelphia and southern New Jersey, authorities said.
