Two decades of lockouts, soaring ticket prices, and onice tinkering have convinced many hardcore fans that the NHLs longtime commissioner Gary Bettman is the devil in disguise, but this book examines his motivations, peels back his often prickly demeanor, and explains how he manages to lead, confound, and keep order. It details the unlikely ascension of a fatherless Jewish kid from Long Islandwho never played hockey and can barely skateto the sports biggest job. The sevenfold increase in gross revenue during Bettmans 20year tenure as NHL commissioner makes him a business success story, and on his watch, professional hockey has also expanded far beyond its regional strongholds. By taming the NHLs famously fractious owners, all but busting its players union, and enforcing a lawyerly discipline even on trash talk, Bettman has become a figure of almost unrivaled power in the business of sports, and this biography delves into how his influence shapes rival leagues in other countries, dictates the schedule of the Olympic Winter Games, and spills onto the ice itself.
