Lynbrook man arrested for stealing hockey glove

Posted

A Lynbrook resident was charged last week with petit larceny after police say he stole equipment from the New York Islanders bench after an April playoff game.

Matthew P. Kircheim was issued an appearance ticket for the incident, which occurred after game six of the Islanders’ first-round playoff series against the Washington Capitals. The Nassau County Police Department said Kircheim removed a protective glove from the team’s bench after the game, the last the team will play in the stadium before moving to Brooklyn next season.

Kircheim is due in First District Court in Hempstead on June 2.
