Rick Tocchet was sentenced today for his involvement in an illegal gambling ring. He will not face jail time, TSN reports.

The former Flyer partnered with a New Jersey state trooper and another man in the sports betting venture they ran for five years. Since being charged, he is on indefinite leave from his position as an assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes under Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky’s wife, Janet, is reported to have placed bets with Tocchet’s operation.

Former trooper James Harney — forced to give up his badge — was sentenced earlier this month to five years in prison. The other man, James Ulmer, has not yet been sentenced.
