PITTSBURGH —
Hockey Canada said Wednesday that Crosby's missing equipment was misplaced rather than stolen after the frenzy following Crosby's overtime goal against the United States in the Olympics gold-medal men's hockey game on Feb. 28.
Canada won the game 3-2.
The Pittsburgh Penguin star's stick was accidentally placed in a shipment bound for the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame in St. Petersburg, Russia. It ended up getting intercepted in Toronto.
One of his gloves was put in a bag belonging to Patrice Bergeron, who sat beside him in the locker room.
After the gear went missing, Reebok put up a $10,000 reward for the stick.
Crosby announced Wednesday that he'll donate the $20,000 bonus he received for winning the gold to his foundation.
