Bettman addresses concerns over Las Vegas team and players' lifestyles
/Gary Bettman was on Sportsnet’s Hockey Central @ Noon on Wednesday afternoon.
As part of a larger discussion on an NHL team in Las Vegas, and concerns about the players' lifestyle part of the equation:
“As it relates to the players, I believe that in this day and age with our players and how professional they are – and even for the youngsters, whether or not it’s the rookie orientation program or what our behavioral health counselors do with the clubs annually, or our security department, and the way our players are the consummate professionals – people will handle themselves appropriately if they go there.
“And by the way, I have no doubt that on a regular basis in the off-season and maybe even during brief breaks during our season that our players – like so many millions of other people – go to Las Vegas to have fun periodically.”
