Gary Bettman, commissioner of the National Hockey League, was born today in Queens, N.Y.
The 60-year-old Bettman, a graduate of Cornell University and New York University School of Law, has been commissioner since 1993.
Bettman’s controversial decisions and presiding over two labor stoppages have made him unpopular in various arenas. He is regularly booed by NHL fans.
“You’re always going to have critics,” Bettman told Maxim magazine in 2008. “What I’ve always told people: If I take the ice and it’s completely silent, then I’ll know I’m in trouble.”
