Mike Gould, the man who pledged millions of dollars to a B.C. junior hockey team, has pleaded guilty to an unrelated fraud following allegations he wrote bad cheques. Gould used a cheque to pay for a party at a Cranbrook restaurant after he promised to gift the Kimberley Dynamiters hockey team $7.5 million. Gould and about 50 guests ran up a bill of almost $8,000 at the Northwest Grill on Oct 14. The Kimberley Dynamiters have not received any of the money promised by the 38-year-old, who claims he got rich winning the Euromillions lottery in 2008 and through investments.
