A golf-resort developer put nearly two dozen NHL stars on ice -- taking millions they had invested with him and blowing it on parties packed with porn stars, hookers and his baseball buddies, including ex-Yankees Roger Clemens and Reggie Jackson, according to two explosive lawsuits filed yesterday. The 19 former and current stick-handlers -- including an all-star roster of Rangers and Islanders -- are demanding that Las Vegas-based golf-course mogul Ken Jowdy return the $25 million they invested, plus fork over $15 million in damages for failing to build two luxury resorts in Mexico that are seven years behind schedule. Among the biggest losers in the failed investments are former Ranger and Islander Bryan Berard and ex-Islander Michael Peca, who each lost $700,000. Ex-Ranger Mattias Norstrom lost $600,000 according to the suits.

Yeah that sounds about right.

Really goes to show that you should probably be more careful about who you invest with.

As much of a **** as this guy is, my god that had to have been a friggin blast. I wonder if the hookers were kind enough to insert Roger's needle for him?

June 19, 2009  12:03 PM ET

Wow....sc*mbag is a banned word?

LOL. Yeah, thats why she is your favorite.

They're just angry because they weren't invited.

June 19, 2009  03:18 PM ET

The funniest line in this article is: "including an all-star roster of Rangers and Islanders ". All stars on those awful teams, now thats funny.

Must have been SOME party! I am wondering if the Midget was there. His office is in New York after all!
Just a thought.

June 19, 2009  04:41 PM ET

I don't think there's single athlete in pro sports I despise more these days (no, not TO, not Bonds, not Plaxico) than Roger Clemens. What an absolute, complete ****.

June 19, 2009  04:54 PM ET

Are they pissed because they lost money or didn't get invited to the party? Hookers, porn stars and sports hero's, sounds like a normal Thursday night in Vegas!
