New Jersey investigators announced Tuesday that they had dismantled an illegal sports betting ring that was allegedly organized by former professional ice hockey player Rick Tocchet. Tocchet is currently an assistant coach for the Phoenix Coyotes. Other hockey players were allegedly involved in a ring that authorities say placed more than 1,000 wagers worth more than $1.7-million (US) during a 40-day period.
