Keep your eyes peeled on Ebay for a piece of Canadian hockey history.
The Associated Press is reporting that the stick and gloves used by Sidney Crosby when he scored the game-winning goal in a 3-2 win over the United States in the gold medal game of the 2010 Olympics are missing.
Apparently, following Canada’s celebration, in which Crosby flung the equipment into the air, the team’s wayward gear was rounded up and returned to their dressing room. However, Hockey Canada doesn’t know the whereabouts of the stick or gloves that netted perhaps the biggest goal in Canadian sports history.
"We're doing a little bit of an investigation to find out what happened,” Johnny Misley, Hockey Canada's executive vice president of hockey operations, told reporters.
The Hockey Hall of Fame has requested the stick be donated to its collection along with some of the other gear given by Team Canada’s gold-medal roster.
But while the mystery of the missing stick and gloves remains unsolved (where’s Robert Stack when you need him?), the big question on everyone’s mind is how much these important pieces of sports memorabilia would fetch at auction?
How much would you shell out for Sid the Kid’s game-winning stick and gloves?
