WHY? 1st NHL Gambling Suspension - Shane Pinto

**Covering the #** · 10-26-23, 08:24 PM

It says he didn't bet on hockey. Seems way out of line for a 41 game suspension, however I do not know how the NHL handles their no gambling policies

Activities related to sports betting. First time they have potentially had a problem like this since the 1940's. I thought Evander Kane was doing this but it was just other sports?

He wasn't the one betting.

Sportsradar caught a connection to him with another account who was making suspicious bets.

Pinto suspension creates learning opportunity in modern betting landscape

Pinto has an opportunity to play another role, besides the one he knows best as the skilled hockey hero who signs autographs. He can share his experiences down this other path, to which plenty of young people can learn from and relate.

Gambling is bad OK.
Dont EVER gamble.
.....now put on this helmet & go play.

At first I thought it was an actual US Senator when I read the title.
