The equipment van for the Minnesota Wild caught
on fire this afternoon in the parking lot of Scotiabank Place in Ottawa
prior to the Wild's game against the Senators on Saturday.
The fire began at approximately 2:30pm eastern as the van was
backing into Scotiabank place. Firefighters remained on the scene for
about 40 minutes. Police say that there were no injuries however a
significant amount of the equipment inside was destroyed. Police are
still investigating the cause of the blaze.
According to the Twitter feed of the Minnesota Wild (twitter/mnwild)
the team is taking inventory to determine the extent of the damage.
According to a report by the CANADIAN PRESS all of goaltender Nicklas Backstrom's
equipment was destroyed. It appears as though at least some of the
Wild players are now left without any skates, sticks or equipment and
will need to purchase completely new equipment before tomorrow's game.
The Wild are now in touch with the National Hockey League to determine what options they may have.
