MTSU Ice Hockey

Canada won the gold medal. The world already knew about that. But here is one light yet interesting story from the final match of Men’s Hockey 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The hero of the day, Sidney Crosby, lost his hockey stick and glove. And even though Hockey Canada has done everything it can to recover the items, they are still missing until now.

How did it all happen? Well, right after the winning goal, all the equipment men rushed into the ice to celebrate the victory. They started to herd all the helmets, gloves, and stick to the Canadian bench. It was definitely a mess back then. When the celebration was over, the coaches scooped out the gears and put them in the Canadian’s dressing room hallway. But we know then that there were two gears never went back to their owner.

Regarding their owner and the special triumphal moment the glove and stick have been through, Hockey Hall of Fame vice-president Phil Pritchard said that the gear have raised their financial worth by now. This of course raises a speculation that those two items were stolen. However, with the spreading news right now, Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada’s director of the men’s national team, urged whoever possess the glove and the stick to return it since obviously the person won’t be able to brag about them or sell them. Let’s just wait and see if this humble advice will work.
