“He may have been a defenceman or forward in disguise as he was wearing jersey number 17 – a non-traditional number for goalies,” RCMP said in a media release sent Friday.

The other man was wearing mitts or gloves, a large coat, a baseball cap and had his face covered, RCMP said.

“They took three cases of Budweiser, and were in and out within 30 seconds,” said Jean Betke, the manager of the vendor.
