The Boston University hockey team is getting ready for a season in which they’re strong contenders for the college championship. Unfortunately, their season is already off to a rocky start since they’re dealing with a gambling scandal that threatens to rock their team.

Junior Nick Roberto was originally suspended for what appeared to be a minor violation of team rules. However, the latest reports indicate that the third-line forward will miss the whole season for “gambling activities” that he engaged in last season.

College Hockey News broke the story, and here’s more on Roberto:

According to several sources, Roberto’s suspension is the result of gambling activity he participated in during last season. Sources indicate that Roberto was not the only BU player involved, though those players are no longer with the hockey program. The identity of those players could not be confirmed. Other sources have indicated that players from other teams were involved, too.

In a statement released to CHN today, the University said, “Beyond confirming that Mr. Roberto will not play for the Boston University hockey team this season, federal privacy laws prevent us from discussing his status.”

If there’s any solace here, it doesn’t initially appear that Roberto or any other Boston University players fixed games. ESPN’s Jeff Cox explained this by tweeting:

“Allegations against BU forward Nick Roberto are very serious and have been floating around rinks for months. Also involves 2 fmr Terriers.”

“Being told unequivocally that none of alleged wrongdoing involved betting on college hockey, as some have rumored. Period. No 1 threw games.”

Despite there not being any reports on match fixing at this time, it still looks like Boston University’s hockey team will have some gambling related headaches to worry about. Pretty much all standard forms of gambling are illegal in the NCAA’s eyes, including betting through a bookie, the internet and fantasy sports. So it’s likely that Roberto was engaging in one or more of these activities a little too much.

Assuming word gets out on other BU players that were gambling, there could be more suspensions to come. And this would be devastating to a hockey program that’s traditionally near the top of the NCAA every year. But the BU Terriers will hope that the suspensions stop with Roberto.

The Boston Business Journal has hired Steph Solis as its digital editor.

She is currently a statehouse and immigration reporter for MassLive.com based in Boston.

“I’m so excited to work with such an impressive group of reporters and editors, but that means moving away from daily State House coverage,” she wrote on Twitter.

Solis previously was an immigration reporter for the USA Today Network, specifically the Asbury Park Press and the North Jersey Record.

At Boston University, she uncovered complaints that a new professor with multiple perks had abandoned her class to promote her book. She also covered the chaos of the Boston Marathon bombing and the manhunt that brought the city to a halt.

As an intern at the Indianapolis Star, she explored the city’s startup culture and chronicled a teen pilot’s dream of flying around the world until his plane crashed in the Pacific Ocean.
