Reward for return of Crosby's Olympic gear

Tribune News Services

TORONTO -- Reebok Canada is offering a $10,000 reward, no questions asked, for the return of the stick and gloves Sidney Crosby used to score in overtime in Canada's Olympic championship victory over the United States.

The equipment disappeared after Crosby tossed his stick and ripped off his gloves to celebrate. Hockey Canada says all of the equipment was collected and was being put into the players' bags when it was noticed Crosby's stick and glove were missing.

The organization is trying to figure out what happened and security officers are reviewing video that shows people leaving the rink with sticks.

If the gear is returned, Crosby can decide to keep the items in his trophy case or give them to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
