NHL Has No Problem With PokerStar Deals Updated 17 Feb 09
Vancouver's Mats Sundin can continue playing on PokerStars.
While other North American pro sports leagues want distance between its athletes and online gambling it seems as if the NHL has no problem with Vancouver Canucks center Mats Sundin and his deal with PokerStars.
"The NHL has no objection with Mats having a relationship with and endorsing the free, educational website PokerStars.net," NHL deputy commish Bill Daly told the Vancouver Sun.
"We do not allow endorsement or sponsorship relationships with 'for money' gaming websites of any kind," Daly went on to say.
Obviously Sundin's deal is with PokerStars.net which if for free play.
