Only in Canada.

Somebody actually tried to rob a convenience store using a hockey stick Monday.

It happened at ﻿Kars Confectionery on Kent St., where around 6:40 p.m., a man dressed in black and wearing a balaclava, approached the owner of the store. He pointed a hockey stick at the man and demanded cash.

Instead of handing over cash, the owner grabbed the stick out of the would-be robber's hand. The suspect fled with less than he came in with.

Police are investigating and say the suspect was white, around 5-foot-10 and had a slim build.

There were no injuries, but -- if caught -- the suspect will likely get more than two minutes for high-sticking.
