Gary Bettman, Commissioner of the NHL and Big Red Legacy

This conversation scores on every level. It’s not every day we get to chat with a commissioner — and not just any commissioner! This week, we talk with Gary Bettman, Commissioner of the NHL, Cornell Class of ’74, and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.Gary takes us back to his days growing up in Queens, navigating a mid–high school move, and finding his way to Cornell’s ILR School.He shares what campus life was like in the early ’70s, how Cornell shaped his path to law school and eventually to the NHL, and how meeting his wife Shelly at Cornell set the stage for a Big Red family that now spans three generations.Gary brings warmth, wit, and wisdom to this conversation and proves that Cornell connections run deep.And of course, a huge thank-you to our friend and former guest, Sue “Sesame” Scheiner, for helping make this episode happen.Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University.
