The one thing know about the NHL’s relationship with gambling is the chickens are looking for a place to roost and this will end in tears
From now on, whenever you see one of your favourite hockey players urging you to bet the prop on who scores first in overtime, think of Ivan Toney.
Brentford’s coach backed him. The England coach backed him. Public opinion seemed to be tipping in Toney’s direction. Until the details of the judgment were revealed. Here’s something that will shock you – Brentford is looking for a new sponsor. Because while we would all agree it might seem weird to have an alcoholic goalie wearing a Day-Glo pink jersey that reads ‘Rosé All Day’, the same rule applies to gambling.
If you’re feeling conflicted about it, hey, here’s Auston Matthews! You like him, right? Well, he likes gambling. So do Wayne Gretzky and Connor McDavid. Just relax. Don’t worry so much. Everything’s fine.Eight of 20 Premier League teams currently have betting companies as shirt sponsors. By 2026, under new rules, that number will be zero.
This move came in mid-April, a few weeks after the Ivan Toney investigation made headlines, but a few weeks before the worst parts of it came out. What a coincidence.Last week, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto called for a ban of gambling ads during hockey broadcasts.A few weeks ago, the NFL suspended five players – three of them indefinitely – for betting on football games last season.
We’re at the point where you could do a weekly digest in the Sports section called, ‘Caught Red-Handed at the Windows!’
