Finally! With just three weeks left in the year, we FINALLY have a feel good story for 2020!

Brampton Police have announced that they've recovered stolen game-worn items and memorabilia stolen from Wayne Gretzky's father Walter Gretzky.

"On behalf of our family, I would like to thank the Brantford Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for everything they have done regarding this investigation," Glen Gretzky, Wayne's brother, said in a statement.

Back in August Brampton Police announced that a number of Wayne's game-worn jerseys, gloves, sticks and even Hart Trophy replica had been stolen from the home of 82 year old Walter. After a three month investigation the Brampton Police, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have not only recovered over $500,000 worth of items, but they've also made some arrests in the case as well. Brampton Police have arrested and charged two 58 year old suspects, one male and one female, in connection with the thefts. 

Here's hoping the judge in this case is an old school hockey fan who doesn't mind dropping the gloves and dropping the hammer on these low life punks.
