Linden Vey's father found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder

The father of Vancouver Canucks forward Linden Vey and Angela Nicholson were found guilty on Sunday of plotting to kill their spouses.

A jury found Nicholson and Curtis Vey guilty on two counts each of conspiracy to commit murder, according to CTV Saskatoon.

The couple planned to kill Linden's mother, Brigitte, in a house fire and plotted to drug Nicholson's husband, Jim Taylor.

Brigitte testified that she secretly recorded the pair making the plans in July 2013.

Curtis and Nicholson will be sentenced on Sept. 2.

Linden opened up about the case and its effect on him earlier this month, admitting that it's been difficult to focus on hockey.
