A B.C. boy is hoping to be reunited with a prized gift after he received a hockey stick from Canucks captain Bo Horvat, only to have the stick get lost in transit when he flew home.
The young hockey fan, Linden Erwin, travelled from his home in Nanaimo, B.C., to watch the Canucks play in Edmonton on Dec. 23.
The Canucks won that game, with Horvat scoring two goals. But as Erwin's family boarded their flight to Abbotsford, B.C., the next day, disaster struck."Linden was pretty reluctant to let go of that stick and put it onto the plane but we assured him, 'Don't worry it's a short flight, it'll make it home,'" said Erwin's mom, Janelle."Really disappointed, extremely," Erwin told CTV News.
The Erwins didn't know it, but by the time they spoke with CTV News on Wednesday, the Canucks team had already responded, saying they'd be happy to get in touch with the family and work out a way to send them a new stick."Flair Airlines' team has been made aware of the missing stick and is hard at work to track it down," said the company in a statement.
