"Is it a criticism to evolve?" he asked.

Bettman spoke of betting at arenas such as Madison Square Garden and the need to have 5G Internet widely available throughout the venue in order to do so.

He predicted the next media deal for the National Hockey League will have a multi screen approach. 

"Gen Z is watching the game on TV with their laptop open and are (also) making live prop bets on their phone”, he noted.

Bettman also talked about integrity concerns with legal betting.

“Our guys play to win and I don’t think they pay attention to the lines," he said with a degree of confidence.
