Default Rich Tocchet charged with running illegal gambling ring
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=153954&hubname=nhl

Allegedly over a dozen NHL players were involved in placing bets, and there are reports that the ring has ties to at least one major actor in Hollywood as well as members in organized crime.

Say it isn't so Rick!

My favorite Flyers player growing up. I used to wear my Tocchet #22 Flyers sweater all of the time back in middle/high school.

Action News has learned that the ring could also be linked to former Philadelphia Flyer Mark Recchi - who now plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Janet Jones - who is the wife of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, and the ring could be tied to the crime family of Bruno Scarfo.
