Crosby's Missing Olympic Stick, Glove Found
TORONTO (AP) - Sidney Crosby's missing Olympic stick and glove have been found. 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 gold-medal game on Feb. 28. Crosby'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.

PIAA Wrestling Begins
HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) - 17 wrestlers are hoping to repeat as gold medal winners when the PIAA wrestling championships begin today. But at least two former champs will fall short of that goal. Two weight classes in Class AA boast a pair of returning champs. Two-time champ Dirk Cowburn from Coudersport and last year's 145-pound champ Eric Hess of Benton are both entered at 160. The 135-pound weight class features Wyomissing's Nick Hodgkins, who won at 130 last year, and Montoursville's Luke Frey, the 2008 champ at 103 pounds. All told, Class AA has nine returning champs entered. There are eight coming back in Class AAA, including Central Dauphin's Marshall Peppleman (160) and Central Mountain's Dylan Alton (152), who are both two-time winners. One other former champion, West Mifflin senior Sam Sherlock,
will miss the tournament with an injury sustained in a tournament in December.
