To retire before the age of 40 is a dream for many professionals. But for a professional athlete, working until then is a sign of lengthy career. By the time most athletes retire from their sport, they still have a lot of opportunity to pursue other professional paths off the ice, field or court.

Today Marty Turco, the current President of the Dallas Stars Foundation and Special Assistant to the President, joined host Tyler Kern for this week’s episode of MarketScale Mornings.

Turco, a former NHL All-Star goaltender, spoke with Kern about the changing landscape of the business side of hockey, what it’s like to be a former athlete in a corporate role and the increasing importance of philanthropy in the league.

Todd Boehly's Eldridge leads strategic investment in youth sports brand Overtime

Todd Boehly's Eldridge leads strategic investment in youth sports brand Overtime

Youth sports media company Overtime raised an undisclosed strategic round led by Eldridge Capital Management, which manages assets for Todd Boehly’s Eldridge. The investment is expected to support content, commerce, technology and Overtime’s live sports properties. Eldridge has stakes in the Dodgers, Lakers and Sparks and has invested in Fanatics, FEVO, Fulwell Entertainment, Religion of Sports and Vivid Seats. The overlap highlights what Eldridge could offer, though no partnerships have been announced.

  • 01The new investment is expected to support Overtime's content, commerce, technology and live sports properties. Eldridge's team stakes and past sports investments suggest it could bring more than capital.
  • 02Watch for announced deals between Overtime's leagues and Eldridge-backed companies such as Fanatics, Vivid Seats or FEVO. That would show whether this is a strategic round or just another name on the investor list.

NFL TV audiences rebound in Week 2 after a 13% Week 1 drop

Fox drew 27.2 million viewers for Cowboys-Commanders, and CBS posted its best Week 2 singleheader ever, up 29%. Nielsen recently made another series of measurement changes, so some of the year-over-year gain could be counting lift. Same-season comparisons are cleaner.
