Podcast appearances and mentions of Gary Bettman

Welcome to episode 210 of Sports Management Podcast. Today's guest is Szymon Szemberg, a reoccurring guest who first appeared on episode 5, almost 5 years ago – and a lot have happened since. Szymon recently wrote an article about the NBA closing in on a league in Europe and if this could lead to an NHL-driven ice hockey league in Europe as well. This topic became even more relevant when NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently stated that such a league could start already in 2027 or 2028. Szymon is the perfect person to discuss this topic. He has been a player, coach and later sports director and managing director of an elite basketball club in Sweden. He has worked as a sports reporter, covering both basketball and hockey. Between 2001-2014, he served as Communications Director for the International Ice Hockey Federation. He was the Champions Hockey League's project lead and later COO (2013-2015) and most recently he was the Managing Director of EHC, Alliance of European Hockey Clubs, from which he just stepped down after 10 years. We spoke about: Why the NBA is planning a new European league How such a league could be structured If NHL can go the same route, and if so how the league look like Szymon explains the possible 4 scenarios, from least to most likely. We also cover the financial and political implications And much more!   Time stamps: 00:01 Intro  02:00 NBA's European League Plans 03:30 The NBA's move to control the global basketball ecosystem13:30 The NHL's current strategic advantage 15:45 Expanding NHL franchises directly into Europe 20:45 Financial and Market Considerations for European Leagues 28:50 Potential NHL European League Scenarios and Strategy 35:00 Long-Term Vision and Regional Opportunities 40:00 Outro   Follow Sports Management Podcast on social media Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube www.sportsmanagementpodcast.com

Ian Laperrière, ancien joueur et entraîneur adjoint des Flyers de Philadelphie, a quitté l'organisation après 15 années passées avec celle-ci. Laperrière avait encore un an de contrat avec les Flyers. Il est passé d'entraîneur des Phantoms de Lehigh Valley au titre de conseiller senior des Flyers au mois de mai. Lundi, il a rompu son contrat avec les Flyers pour accepter l'offre des Islanders de New York comme recruteur professionnel dans la formation de Mathieu Darche. Sans surprise, Laperrière confirme qu'il a mal digéré la nouvelle quand on lui a dit qu'il allait céder son poste d'entraîneur à Lehigh Valley. Une décision professionnelle qui va modifier sa relation d'amitié avec le directeur général des Flyers, Daniel Brière?: «....(long silence) Le temps nous le dira». Une chose est sûre, c’est que le Québécois de 51 ans veut retourner derrière un banc d’une équipe de hockey. L'arrivée de nombreux joueurs américains dans la LHJMQ pourrait-elle venir bousculer la place de plusieurs joueurs québécois? On le sait, les joueurs de la LHJMQ peuvent désormais poursuivre leur carrière dans une université américaine. Ce changement entraîne toutefois une hausse du nombre d’Américains (41) dans le circuit, et bouleverse également les cycles traditionnels de recrutement et pourrait réduire les opportunités pour les joueurs québécois. Une révolution qui bouscule l’ordre établi. Écoutez à ce sujet Alexandre Pratt, de La Presse, et le spécialiste de hockey junior de la LHJMQ au Réseau des sports, Stéphane Leroux, en discuter avec Mario Langlois, aux Amateurs de sports. «Il y a une révolution, c'est sûr. Je pense que ça va prendre trois ou quatre ans avant de voir vraiment l'impact de tout ça», note Stéphane Leroux. La LNH imposerait un plafond salarial en séries dès cette année. Cet élément avait été ajouté à la nouvelle convention collective de la ligue qui entrera en vigueur dès septembre 2026. Gary Bettman et ses adjoints ont décidé de devancer cette mesure aux prochaines séries, soit un an plus tôt que prévu. Quelles équipes pourraient être désavantagées par cette modification? Le journaliste à La Presse, Guillaume Lefrançois, confirme que l’édition 2024-25 des Panthers de la Floride, championne de la plus récente Coupe Stanley, aurait été illégale aux yeux de la ligue, avec cette modification. Le journaliste aborde aussi avec Mario Langlois un autre dossier qui fera couler beaucoup d’encre cette année : la loterie Gavin McKenna. Quelles formations de la LNH pourraient vendre des joueurs actifs pour abaisser leur rang au classement général du circuit?Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

SEASON 4 EPISODE 2: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The United States of America does not have a functioning government. The Trump Dictatorship and the Library of Congress – Congress which Mike Johnson runs via a porn app – DELETED part of the official online edition of the Constitution – the part that limits the suspension of Habeas Corpus and bans presidents accepting foreign bribes. The Library says it was a coding error and would be fixed soon…ish. Yeah, the coding in Trump’s DNA. The White House had to DENY that the White House Chief of Staff was to meet last night with the Vice President, the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and the FBI Director to discuss what to DO about the Trump/Epstein cover-up scandal, and what to do WITH the RECORDING of the Deputy Attorney General’s two days’ of bargaining with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker… and nobody seemed to notice that the headline was that WHATEVER the Chief of Staff, A-G, Deputy A-G, and FBI Director WERE meeting with the Vice President ABOUT… the PRESIDENT WASN’T GOING TO BE THERE. There is no competent executive authority, no congressional or senate oversight, no reliable judiciary. The United States of America does NOT NOW have a functioning government. The nominal president has spent the last few days making up economic statistics and poll numbers and threatening his predecessors with prosecution for imaginary crimes punishable by death while wandering around the roof of the White House, and phoning in to a business network with racist moronity the content of which is just this side of a 19th century minstrel show, or continuing to get more and more in bed, figuratively, with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker, in a scheme to cover-up her crimes, her late partner crimes, and whatever the president’s role was or was not… in them. And the first and seventh people in the line of presidential succession were going to have dinner with their Epstein expert who just met with Gulaine Maxwell and the head of the FBI and the woman who RUNS the White House but NOT the president and you know it almost doesn’t MATTER if they were meeting to try to figure out what to do about Trumpsteen or not. By 3:14 PM Eastern the Library of Congress said Sections 8, 9 and 10 of the 1st Article were back online so, shrug emoji, I guess there are limits on emoluments and suspending Habeas Corpus… for now. Fifteen minutes later, however, there were still huge swaths of all three sections missing from the official online version of the Constitution. But coding. And so what, it’s just the ONLINE version, what’s the difference? Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because she wouldn’t delete the official online jobs numbers and will soon find someone to post fabricated numbers online which will then be accepted as real – and official – because they’re ONLINE. There is no functioning government, just a mediocre Public Relations firm. Understaffed. Trying to sell Edsels, Google Glasses, New Coke, and fascism. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Acting NASA "Director" Duffy wants to put nukes on the moon, even though that was the plot of the re-make of the movie "The Time Machine" in which nukes on the moon destroyed the moon and rendered earth uninhabitable good call reality TV boy. The New York Times won't stop trying to make Harvard-Fetch happen. And the Trump Council on Lack of Fitness, the one Super Bowl star Saquon Barkley turned down membership on? The Council announced he accepted. C-Block (55:00) THURSDAYS WITH THURBER: Of all his great stories, the one that might have been the most likely to have been written in order to be performed aloud, I humbly offer you this week: "The Night The Bed Fell."

With NHL training camps set to open in a few weeks, the anticipation of a new season will begin. Still, the sport has received unwanted attention in an area that has had an unseemly history that goes back decades.On July 24, five members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Championship team were found not guilty of sexual assault in a highly publicized trial. While the decision was favorable for the players involved, the incident itself paints an ugly picture and goes deeper into today's culture and society.Katie Strang from The Athletic has covered the NHL as a reporter for Newsday and ESPN.com with her first work into investigative reporting being the Michigan State gymnastics trial in 2017.Having written other pieces on sexual abuse, Katie joins Neil and Vic to discuss the London trial, hockey's history of abuse and the responsibility of hockey's governing bodies going forward.IN THIS EPISODE:[01:54] - Katie Strang joins Neil and Vic and shares what led to her career moving in the direction of investigative reporting.[02:46] - Katie discusses her first major story as an investigative reporter covering the Michigan State Gymnastics case against Larry Nassar adding the indelible impact it had on her.[05:03] - The difficulty and challenges of detaching from covering a story such as that at Michigan State amidst having a family life.[06:43] - Strang speaks about the unusual happenings during the trial centering around five former NHL players who were accused of sexual assault while members of Canada's 2018 World Junior Championship Team.[11:20] - Even after the decision, public opinion remained very split. Katie shares why she believes this is so.[13:06] - Neil shares his personal revulsion to the the acts alleged in the case before raising the question of the future of the five players who were acquitted. Katie goes deep in her response noting Gary Bettman's ruling the players are still ineligible to return to the NHL, possible pushback from the NHLPA and what an internal investigation by the NHL may have revealed information which was inadmissible in court.[20:16] - Should any of the five players be reinstated, which team(s) would step forward and sign any of them knowing the possible public backlash which could follow?[23:04] - Katie turns the tables on Neil asking him what he would have done during the Rangers Cup run in 1994 had he been aware of a situation similar to the one which took place in Chicago in 2010.[24:27] - Vic follows up asking Neil whether he would have hired a head coach not guilty of a crime but banned for "inadequate response" as Joel Quenneville was.[25:59] - Given there has been a history of abuse in hockey that extends beyond the ice surface, the question is posed about the responsibilities of governing bodies such as the NHL and Hockey Canada to ensure a safe environment for all players. Katie goes a step further addressing systemic issues which still exist in hockey culture.[32:21] - The role of the media and its coverage of abuse.[34:57] - The discussion wraps up with another area of concern around hockey: concussions.[40:27] - Vic and Neil put a wrap on the discussion.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #SummerCoolers #CenebritySeries #KatieStrang #TheAthletic #RickWesthead #WeBreedLions #TSN #LarryNassar #MichiganStateAthletics #MichaelMcLeod #DillonDube #CalFoote #AlexFormenton #CarterHart #MariaCarroccia #GrahamJames #TheoFleury #SheldonKennedy #GaryBettman #MartyWalsh #NHLPA #StanBowman #JoelQuenneville #AlMacIsaac #KyleBeach #BradAldrich #PatVerbeek #DavidGove #ChrisWeiss #HockeyCanada

Cam Robinson suggests the Blackhawks are eyeing Michael Misa and could look to move up in the draft, while Ben Pope reports Kyle Davidson says the team's internal draft board is still unfinished. With uncertainty around how teams like the Islanders and Sharks will draft, the top of the board remains wide open — and the Hawks are keeping options flexible.We also talk about the Hawks reportedly skipping combine dinners, their possible shift away from prioritizing elite skating, and the strong internal stance on keeping Bedard and Nazar at center. Expect wingers to be the focus — and don't rule out an aggressive trade up if the right name is there.Then we touch on the CHSN Xfinity update as the highest-tier service becomes the go-to for Hawks games, sunsetting over-the-air options in the Chicagoland area.

The hour wraps up with our signature Mixed Bag segment, featuring more fiery remarks from Mike McDaniel, a surprising rant from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman about TNT commentators, and some sharp insights from Matthew Tkachuk on the Oilers' recent antics. It's a jam-packed hour full of hard-hitting analysis, candid opinions, and plenty of sports drama.
