Some very special pieces of Canadian Olympic hockey equipment are missing.
The gloves and stick used by Sidney Crosby to score the winning goal in Canada's gold medal victory over the U.S. at the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Sunday are unaccounted for, Hockey Canada said Tuesday night. Crosby flung the equipment into the air after his overtime goal in Canada's dramatic 3-2 win.
"After the game, with all the celebration and everything, the equipment was all collected and it was being put in the players' bags," said Johnny Misley, Hockey Canada's executive vice-president of hockey operations. "(It) was noticed that Sidney's stick - that he scored the winning goal with - and his gloves, were missing.
"We're doing a little bit of an investigation to find out what happened."
Misley said the Hockey Hall of Fame initially requested Crosby's stick for its collection.
"There was a request for Sid's stick at the time, but at that time we knew it was missing so we couldn't give it to them."

With Sam Roberts in town to play at the Sidney Crosby / NHL Stanley Cup celebration and Matt Mays in for the Canoe '09 Sprint Kayak races it was too good of an opportunity to try and get these Canadian rock icons out for a little surfie. Watch this video for some pre-surf shenanigans and classic Nova Scotian summer beach break surf.

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk has no doubt that - sooner rather than later - the National Hockey League will be expanding into Europe.
"There are a lot of logistical issues from arenas to how we set up the schedules," Melnyk told reporters in Stockholm over the weekend. "But it's happening and it's going to happen. Absolutely and irrevocably I am committed that my vote is in for European expansion."
However, not everyone - including NHL commissioner Gary Bettman - is as bullish on locating teams across the Atlantic Ocean.
"Mr. Melnyk was not voicing an official league position," he explained. "We want to develop a more permanent, more regular presence in Europe, (but) permanent doesn't necessarily mean franchises on the ground or ever."
By contrast, NHL Players' Association Executive Director Paul Kelly was more supportive of Melnyk's remarks, going so far as to establish a probable timeline for such a venture to happen.
"That door is definitely not closed - we are studying it," he said Sunday. "I don't think it's around the corner, but I could see it longer term by five, 10 years down the road."
Not surprisingly, people around the league have wide-ranging views on the subject. The NHL's success this week in both Prague and Stockholm has many believing in the real possibility of expansion. While the league takes its time discussing the viability of permanent expansion into Europe, Bettman has already said the league is committed to bringing back at least four teams - if not more - next season.
"I think we could have sold out the whole week," said Pittsburgh Penguins president David Morehouse. "I think people here are crazy about hockey. I think they love the NHL."
However, trying to comprehend making it work is a gargantuan task in itself.
"To have a regular season all the time I think it would be a little tricky," said Senators centre Jason Spezza. "Obviously, the passion and fans are here, (but) the geography doesn't work."
Should the league make a decision to expand overseas, there are several different avenues that can be taken. The NHL could set up a European division, arrange an uber-final between the Stanley Cup champion and a European champion or set aside an NHL vs. Europe series. Either way, it would mean more travel for players.
"You just can't go back and forth with the six-to-seven (hour) time difference," said Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu. "You have to get the right teams and right cities."
And what about the opinion of the league's premier player?
"It's definitely a possibility and something that's been talked about a lot," said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. "But I'm sure there is a lot of thought before you can make any big decisions like that."

Don't watch hockey much but this kid is worth checking out.
"For a kid who can't legally buy a beer in Pittburgh, Sidney Crosby (he won't be 21 until next August!) has done pretty well for himself in the NHL.
In his first season at age 18 (and 253 days), he became the youngest player in league history to reach the 100-point plateau, totaling 102. He accomplished the feat by finishing the season with a fantastic flurry, racking up 37 points in his final 23 games."Don't watch hockey much but this kid is worth checking out.
