—@VancouverPDAccording to the Vancouver Police Department, the thief stole a few items, including "a priceless white gold 2008 Beijing Olympic ring and a University of British Columbia Thunderbirds alumni ring. Both rings are irreplaceable."
Tupper is one of only two men on the 2015 national team who competed at the Beijing Games and is now Team Canada's captain.
On the bright side, the Canadian field hockey team has already qualified for next year's Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
