The NHL Gets Caught Stealing Information From Players Phones
Shane Pinto's situation with the Ottawa Senators and his recent 41-game suspension has taken an intriguing turn in the last 24 hours. It has come to light that Pinto registered an account with a gambling website, which drew the NHL's attention.
This new revelation was reported by Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun. He detailed what transpired with Pinto and the potential repercussions for other players who may not have been aware of the NHL's strict stance on these suspensions.
The NHL's investigation did not uncover any evidence of Pinto betting on his own team's games or NHL contests. Instead, it appears the focus was on activities related to other leagues through the website.
This development raises a significant question: Should the NHL formally inform its players, as employees, about the potential for suspensions when engaging with gambling websites?
While the answer remains uncertain, it is likely that this issue will be a topic for discussion during the next collective bargaining negotiations, potentially leading to more clearly defined policies.
