The Hockey News is out with its annual list of 100 People of Power & Influence in hockey and both Stars owner Tom Hicks and forward Sean Avery are on it.
Hicks came in at No. 20 after not being ranked last year. He’s on the list because he’s NHL board vice-chairman and is slated to become the chairman of the league’s important. audit and finance committee.
Avery came in at No. 27 after not making the list last year. He’s on it this year for what THN says are all the reasons: “He casts himself, the league and the game in negative light because of his poorly thought-out actions and comments.”
The top 10 on the list are:
1. Sidney Crosby
2. Alex Ovechkin
3. Gary Bettman
4. Paul Kelly
5. Bill Daly
6. Jim Balsillie
7. Colin Campbell
8. Wayne Gretzky
9. Alexander Medvedev
10. Jeremy Jacobs
