Hockey Kid In Canada Gets Shafted

A youth hockey player in Canada entered a raffle and unexpectedly won $200 worth of cannabis products, infuriating his grandfather.

Keith Redl says his grandson plays with other 8-year-olds and 7-year-olds in a local hockey league and that the teams traditionally organize a fundraiser each year. Typically the teams put together a gift basket or a prize package that’s worth $50.

According to Redl, the prizes have always been geared towards the kids or are family-friendly.

Redl’s grandson bought $10 worth of various raffle tickets and Redl explained that the young boy thought the basket he eventually won was filled with chocolate.

Instead, it was $200 worth of cannabis products. What the 8-year-old had seen were chocolate edibles — also featured in the basket was a pipe and a lighter.

Redl had to explain to his grandson that he couldn’t eat any of the contents of the bag because it was actually filled with drugs and told CTVNews that his grandson was furious he wasn’t allowed to eat any of it.
