Chris Chelios of the Detroit Red Wings is of Greek descent. The original spelling of Chelios is "Tselios." Nikos Tselios, a cousin of Chelios, played two NHL games in 2001-02 for the Carolina Hurricanes. Other Greeks in the NHL that are not players are Ted Leonsis (owner of the Washington Capitals) and Peter Karmanos (owner of the Carolina Hurricanes). Karmanos' youngest son Jason served as the Hurricanes' Vice President from 1998-2007.
Gary Bettman is the commissioner for the NHL.
The NHL was formed out of the National Hockey Association in 1917.
The NHL is comprised of 30 teams - 24 in the United States and 6 in Canada.
Chare is by far the biggest player in the NHL
Jim Balsillie has never been an NHL owner. He was approved to be an owner for both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators. The NHL does a check on a prospective owner to approve their suitability to be an owner in the league and he passed that check in 2006. In the Pittsburgh case, Balsillie declined to complete the purchase of the Penguins when it was revealed that in the sale conditions the club could not be relocated. In the Nashville case, the NHL vetoed him as an owner after Balsillie set up a season-ticket drive in Hamilton, Ontario prior to the ownership transaction having been completed. The NHL did not want to approve an owner committed to relocating the franchise.
Mario Lemieux, I believe
The first no trade clause in NHL history was given to Darryl Sitter. However a few years after he had it, he waived it after his relationship with team owner Harold Ballard deteriorated.
Harold Ballard was known to be an owner of two sports teams. He was a part owner and eventually a majority owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs team for the NHL. He was also owner of the Hamilton Tiger Cats NFL team for 11 seasons.
I think it's Mike and Marian Illitch of the Detroit Red Wings who purchased them in 1982.

On October 23rd, 1997, Les Alexander, the owner of the Houston Rockets, bought the NHL Edmonton Oilers.
This is because the players want more money and are not going to play unless they get that money. The owner is refusing to give them the money. Both of them are not getting benefited.
