Former Boston Bruins goaltender and coach Gerry Cheevers is on a list of people expected to be mentioned in an upcoming mob trial involving sports gambling, The Boston Herald reports today. Although Cheevers' connection to the case is not known, the newspaper says prospective jurors will be asked if they are familiar with him when jury selection begins this morning. The 68-year-old Cheevers, a Hall of Famer who played on two Stanley Cup championship teams, acknowledged that he is "probably" the person who will be mentioned in the trial, but he said he does not know his relationship to the case. The defendants in the case, who include the brother-in-law of disgraced FBI agent John Connolly, are facing counts of racketeering, illegal gambling, arson, money laundering and attempted extortion.
