Harley Hotchkiss dies at age 83 Harley Hotchkiss, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame and one of the founding members of the Calgary Flames, died yesterday. He was 83. Story, page 4.
Instead of handcuffs and criminal charges, a Calgary man caught in last week’s Stanley Cup riots should be showered with praise, says a friend who witnessed his actions. Calgary engineer Joshua Evans, 27, Sonny Jaura and some friends took in the seventh and deciding game of the Stanley Cup finals at a Vancouver bar on Nelson Street. When they exited the establishment and entered what Jaura described as “chaos,” the group noticed some violent men harassing youth. They broke up the incident, but paid the price as Jaura and two others were stabbed. Jaura said Evans chased down a knife-wielding man believed responsible, disarmed him and
Stitches. Sonny Jaura, a longtime friend of Calgarian Josh Evans, was stabbed in the back. Two others in the group were also slashed in the stomach and arm. All three required stitches.

carted him back to Vancouver police. Both men were arrested. “I was just dumbfounded,” Jaura said of the police’s actions. “He’s a hero 100 per cent. I mean who runs after a guy with a knife?” Evans has since been charged with possession of a dangerous
weapon that Jaura says wasn’t his. In a statement obtained by Metro yesterday, Evans’ family expressed regret over the charge. “Josh tells us that he has thought about it 1,000 times and says he isn’t sure if he would do anything differently,” the statement reads. “If he would have put the knife on the ground, who knows if the (attacker’s) friends would have used it on him or someone else.” A family spokesperson said yesterday Evans has been instructed by legal representation not to conduct any formal interviews for the time being. Jaura pleaded with Vancouver police to revisit the incident. “Look at all of our evidence and make sound decisions,” he said. “Don’t waste taxpayers’ money.” Despite repeated inquiries, Vancouver police could not be reached for comment yesterday.
