The stick Sidney Crosby used to score the Gold medal winning overtime goal over Team U.S.A. has gone missing.
After Crosby scored, he ripped off his gloves and threw his stick in the air. As reported by the Toronto Star. “When they cleared the ice, I never got my stick or gloves,” Crosby said after the game.
Now, Hockey Canada is investigating and really wants to see the stick returned. It’s a piece of Hall Of Fame worthy memorabilia now. Investigators are looking through all television and venue video footage in hopes of spotting who could have grabbed the stick from the ice. “We have some leads,” is all Hockey Canada’s Scott Salmond would say.
As for the Sid The Kid’s gloves – one of the gloves was returned to Hockey Canada from a fan who caught it when Crosby threw it OVER the glass.
HoundsTV has discussed this with a few people today and is wondering…
Was the fan not within their rights to keep Crosby’s glove?
Unless their are specific rules stating otherwise, we think the glove is fair game once Crosby threw it over the glass into the crowd. Like a historical home run in baseball.
If Crosby’s stick was snatched from the ice surface or in the locker room – that is clearly theft and his stick should be returned. But a glove thrown over the glass?
The person who got Sid’s glove might be feeling pretty good today about returning it to Hockey Canada. We thinks they needlessly gave up a $25,000 piece of historical memorabilia.
“Of all the things, I got my mouthguard back. I don’t know where (the other equipment) is.” – SIDNEY CROSBY

Fans should have kept the glove. He didn’t have to return it. Sid would have understood.
It was a very classy and noble thing for the person to return Sidney Crosby’s glove. Not everything has to be about the value or money.
