Today the NHL reinstated Ducks owner Henry Samueli, lifting a suspension imposed in June of last year. Samueli was suspended while he faced charges related to the manipulation of stock options for Broadcom, an IC manufacturer that he co-founded with Henry Nicholas. The Ducks owner had reached a plea bargain with prosecutors in September of last year, but the lower court refused to accept it. The parties subsequently brought the matter to the Ninth Circuit Appellate Courts. Samueli's wife and co-owner, Susan, was not suspended by the NHL but assumed the suspension voluntarily.
