Car thefts leave a black eye at the AAA hockey tournament in Montreal
A series of car thefts affected an international AAA hockey tournament at the Pierrefonds Sportsplexe this week.
Teams featuring some of the best 12-year-old hockey players in the world have traveled from across North America and parts of Europe to Montreal to compete.
“It is a very important tournament for this age group. The competition is great,” said Roberto Gomez, ambassador of the Triple Crown Clash Super Series.
Four cars were stolen outside the arena on Wednesday and Thursday.
Parent Joe Meyer said he parked the car around 4 p.m. and when they left the rink at 7 p.m., it was gone.
“I went looking for the car, realized the car wasn't there, saw a bunch of glass on the ground and assumed it was stolen,” he said.
All cars had American license plates.
“You know, unfortunately it is what it is. I only have three kids and I'm trying to figure out how to get home, back across the border and get to and from the rink and the hotel,” said parent JT Caiazza.
Caiazza said his insurance company won't cover the rental costs until he returns to the United States.
For now, his family of five is relying on other families for lifts to the tournament.
Organizers said the ordeal left the tournament with a black eye.
“We've had feedback that teams no longer want to come to Montreal because of this. It's not an isolated event,” Gomez said.
The arena's general manager said a similar incident happened a few weeks ago at another event.
Although there are security cameras in the parking lot, they do not provide full coverage and did not detect the thefts.
Following the car thefts, the tournament organizers took immediate action. The rear exit of the parking lot, where the thefts took place, is closed. Private security has also been hired.
Ironically, there is a police station next to the arena; a patrol car is now parked outside.
“We appreciate the partnership that the rink brings. And we're going to have coaches and parents be more vigilant and just keep an eye on it,” Gomez said.
Caiazza said he still has no idea how to get his family to New Jersey.
“If you can get away with it, you're just going to do it. So I'm not surprised about anything anymore. This is the time we live in. Unfortunately, no one cares about anything,” he said.
The tournament runs until Sunday.
