Canucks' dad enters plea

Curtis Vey has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to kill his wife.

The trial for the father of Vancouver Canucks forward Linden Vey began Tuesday in a Prince Albert, Sask., courtroom.

The elder Vey and his mistress, Angela Nicholson, are both facing the same charges and both have professed their innocence.

Police said Vey was having an affair with Nicholson and the pair were plotting to kill their partners.

After the charges were laid, Nicholson’s husband, Jim Taylor, said he was informed of the plot after Vey’s wife, Brigette, recorded her husband and Nicholson discussing murder.

Brigitte said she overheard the accused say she would die in a house fire and Taylor would die of an overdose on Halloween.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
