Trouble for members of 1994 USA Junior Goodwill Games team |

Way back in 1992 when the Pittsburgh Penguins were completing their first successful back-to-back Stanley Cup championships an arrogant lawyer from Minneapolis got busted for driving drunk.
Logically, his punishment was to work with children. That coach was Gordon Bombay.
It appears some of his former players have adopted his criminal ways.
Shaun Weiss, also known as Greg Goldberg, has fallen on some hard times.
Goldberg is one of the worst goalies to ever don the pads, fictional or real. His glove hand was completely inept and he was unable to catch anything. Ironically enough it was the law who caught him.
Goldberg was caught stealing $151 of electronics from a Fry's store. He was
sentenced to 150 days in jail. This wasn't his first brush with the law. He's as bad of a person as he was a goalie
He only served 12 days of the 150 that he was sentenced for stealing, but wasted no time getting back into trouble.
Shaun Weiss was arrested for possession of a controlled substance in Los Angeles on Wednesday after authorities received a 911 call about a man stumbling around yards near the Warner Bros. studio lot, TMZ reports.
Weiss was reportedly in possession of meth, but it is unclear the amount he had on him, according to the gossip site.
Here's to hoping he gets the help he needs.
Goldberg isn't the only former member of the Gold Medal winning team from the 1994 Junior Goodwill Games to find themselves in trouble
Luis Mendoza (Mike Vitar) beat the odds by making the national team despite hailing from Florida at a time when the NHL had no footprint in the NHL. He also made the team in spite of the fact he couldn't stop. Not being able to stop is a problem that plagued him into adulthood when he failed to stop choking somebody for handing out Halloween candy when he was a member of the LAFD. The victim lost their pulse, but was resuscitated by Vitar
Vitar, 38, dodged jail time for the Halloween, 2015, incident after pleading guilty to a lower-level misdemeanor — but now Samuel Chang is suing Vitar and four alleged accomplices in civil court, Fox News first reported.
The series of unfortunate events began when Chang passed Halloween candy around his Los Angeles neighborhood. Vitar and the four other defendants approached him and demanded to know what he was doing in the neighborhood, the civil suit, which was filed Thursday, alleges.
Vitar and his team followed the victim and tackled him before putting Chang in a chokehold with his hands chained behind his back, a video of the incident shows.
You can't go back and change the past. Hopefully both men make an effort to improve the future.
