Thursday Morning Fly By: I Got Somethin on my Shoulder

Greg Drinnan reports on his blog:

A teenaged shoplifter in Kelowna has learned not to mess with Hitch. Don Plant of the Kelowna Daily Courier reports that well-known hockey coach Ken Hitchcock, who hangs out in Kelowna during the summer these days, "was in a parked car outside clothing shop Cruzwear Unlimited on Bernard Avenue on Wednesday morning. A 14-year-old boy left the store with three pairs of shorts as employee Sherrie Lessare grabbed his pack sack and held on.
When she called for help, Hitchcock and a man riding a motorcycle seized the thief and pinned him against the store window. Lessare phoned the downtown security patrol while the two men detained the youth.
"They were both just wonderful people," she said later. "Both guys, no questions asked, just came and helped."
The youth ended up being banned from the store and also was informed that he would be charged with trespassing were he to return.
And if you know Hitchcock, you know he wasn’t done.
The former Kamloops Blazers head coach, Plant reports, "came back to the store half an hour later to see if Lessare was OK."
Hitchcock declined The Daily Courier’s request for an interview.
By the way, Plant also reported that "Lesarre . . . described (Hitchcock) as ‘distinguished,’ tanned, wearing walking shorts and expensive white runners."

Way to go Hitch!

Bill Guerin looks like a sad clown in that picture.

I guess I’m kinda late with it, but have you ever seen this?
