EWING, N.J. (AP) - Wayne Gretzky's wife and about a half-dozen NHL players placed bets - but not on hockey - with a nationwide sports gambling ring financed by Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet, authorities said Tuesday.
Gretzky, hockey's greatest player, is in his first season coaching the Coyotes and is a part-owner of the team.
Actress-wife Janet Jones was among those implicated, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because no bettors have been publicly identified.

Thank goodness the authorities got involved! I was afraid to walk home from work out of fear Janet Jones-Gretzky and Rick Tocchet would jump me from behind and force me to bet.

I don't understand what the big deal is? Nobody gets in trouble for this anymore...he didn't bet on hockey, so, what's the big whoop?
