Blackhawks’ Legend Stan Mikita Dead at 78, Gretzky Named Ambassador for
Kunlun Red Star in Beijing and NASCAR CEO Takes Leave of Absence Following
Arrest
Former Chicago Blackhawks star Stan Mikita has died
at 78, according to the Associated Press. Mikita played exclusively for the Blackhawks in his NHL career,
spanning from 1959 to 1980. He holds the team record for assists (926), points (1,467) and
games played (1,394), and is second only to teammate Bobby Hull with 541 goals.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, who called Mikita “one
of the greatest players in NHL history and a Chicago icon”, praised the late
player’s style and technique as well as his conduct:
“He curved his
stick blade to an extent previously unthinkable, causing his shot to do tricks.
He utterly transformed his playing style in his prime, going from one of the
league’s most penalized players to one of its most gentlemanly.”
Wayne Gretzky has joined Kontinental Hockey
League’s (KHL) Kunlun Red Star in Beijing as their global ambassador, according
to HockeyBuzz.com. The 57-year-old hockey legend will be responsible for promoting and
developing the sport in China. Gretzky expressed his excitement for the new
endeavor:
''I'm excited
to make my first trip to China next month and become a partner of Kunlun to
help them develop this brilliant sport of hockey. I can't wait to see that more
and more people turn to the sport''
NASCAR CEO Brian France has taken a leave of

NASCAR’s Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President has assumed the role of
interim CEO and chairman.
"I apologize to our fans,
our industry and my family for the impact of my actions last night,"
France said in a statement later Monday. "Effective immediately, I will be
taking an indefinite leave of absence from my position to focus on my personal
affairs."
