The Sault Star – The Soo Greyhounds are “aware” of – and remaining mum about – online accusations made recently that goaltender Tucker Tynan has been involved in a bookmaking operation.
“The team and league are aware of the matter,” Greyhounds president and governor Tim Lukenda said in a statement to the Sault Star Monday. “We have no further comment at this time.”
“The league takes such matters related to gambling and the integrity of our games very seriously and are in the process of reviewing the allegations,” the statement said.
None of the allegations made against Tynan has been proven.
A Twitter account user, using the pseudonym JoeyKnish22, accused Tynan of his involvement in the operation prior to Christmas.
Were you aware @tuckertynan1 is part of an illegal bookmaking operation? Seems like something @OHLHockey @OHLHoundPower should look into. After he accepted losses from my friend of over $7500 to his cashapp and personal bank, he then refused to pay out winnings and stiffed him. https://t.co/g91FwCOTwm pic.twitter.com/RK3RkQcwcV

There is an entire thread on twitter with more accusations and other people involved reaching out via twitter to share there stories and experiences with Tucker Tynan. It also appears that Tucker has since deleted his entire twitter account and gone radio silent on these accusations. There has been some other accusations thrown around that Tynan has a history of this type of behavior, so we will have to wait and see what takes place in the near future.
