The Hockey Hall Of Fame Break-In
from the CBC Archives,
It was a crime story involving the most famous trophy in Canada, which had allegedly been pilfered from the Hockey Hall of Fame.
"The Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe trophies are more than symbols of hockey's greatness today," the CBC's John O'Leary told Update viewers on Dec. 5, 1970. "They and the [Bill] Masterton trophy are objects of a police search."...
The Toronto Star reported that an alarm at the museum did not go off as expected.
"One day a mouse set if off. Yet it doesn't work when the trophies are taken," the museum's curator and former Toronto Telegram reporter, Maurice (Lefty) Reid, told the paper.
It was later reported, however, that the stolen Stanley Cup was not the true, original trophy.
The one that was stolen, was the replica used for on-ice presentations.
"It's a perfect reproduction," said Campbell, when describing the stolen, but not-quite-true Stanley Cup trophy, according to a report by the Globe and Mail.
The missing Masterton and Smythe trophies, however, were the real deal.
Fortunately for hockey fans, the trophies were recovered just over two weeks after they were taken.
