This happened in Luca Del Vecchio’s second season in the SMJHL with the Kelowna Knights. Luca came in early to practice, like, much much earlier than anyone else, even the staff. Getting into the locker room, Luca put some itchy powder on the inside of Cillian Cavanagh’s hockey equipment and undergarments.
Later that morning, after the physical training, the players hit the ice. It wasn’t long before Cillian was jiggling around and attempting to scratch himself everywhere. This puzzled everyone except for Luca on the other end of the ice who burst out laughing. As his teammates joined in the giggling, Cillian had to be escorted off the ice and helped out of his gear before heading to the showers to remove the powder.
Needless to say, Luca had to go see the General Manager to explain himself and received a stern lecture from the coach as well. Was it worth the trouble? Absolutely. Did the rest of the team enjoy it? Definitely. Would Luca do it again? Most likely.
