The Fort Erie Falcons returned home this morning and exiting the bus into a car was an unidentified figure.
It was a scene of shock and awe as this mysterious figure left the bus into an awaiting car. The spectators on hand to welcome the team home were at a loss as they didn't recognize this man in his mid 20's with nicely styled hair.
He looked European and wore what appeared to be an Armani suit. We managed to get a picture of this man as he got into his car.
We attempted to reach team officials for comment but no comment was forthcoming. We just had to find out who this mystery European was before TMZ could report it.
Luckily, we were at the Fort Erie Gazette and Pizza (yes they are combined, you can't survive in this day in age just being a newspaper) had a relationship with the producers of the television show Cheaters.
We reached out to the folks at Cheaters for their face recognition technology and were able to identify the person we saw that morning.
It was none other than Sudbury Miners goaltender Philipp Grubauer in that Armani suit.
We asked ourselves what Grubauer would be doing in Fort Erie and then we received a clue.
It was a press release.
The Falcons announced that they acquired Grubauer and Sudbury's fourth pick in 2018 for top prospect Anthony Beauvillier and a second round pick in 2019.
It appears that GM Matt Young was at it again today just hours after expressing concern about the number of goals against this season.
We were unable to reach Young or Grubauer for comment but I am sure there is more to come in this developing story.
