Saskatchewan rink benefiting from having signed Gordie Howe jersey stolen
ASQUITH, Sask. — An ice rink in Saskatchewan that had a signed Gordie Howe jersey stolen has received so many sports items it is having an online auction.
The jersey — which was going to be raffled off to raise money — was stolen in February during a break-in at the Asquith Sports Centre, but people donated items and the raffle was held in March.
News of the theft also reached the Howe family in Michigan who donated their own jersey for a future raffle.
Since then, Asquith rink board member Brandi McTavish says people have donated more sports memoribilia, including signed hockey jerseys of Howe, Sidney Crosby, Bernie Parent and Johnny Bower.
