WINNIPEG, MB
A popular new restaurant in Winnipeg drew international attention this week after barring all children under 15, including former Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck.
“We’re banning children or anyone who acts like a child,” said restaurant owner Katie Peters. “I mean who wants all that whining and complaining when you’re sitting down for a nice meal.”
Connor Hellebuyck may be 33 years old, but recent events suggest a maturity level of around 7 or 8.
“First he demands a trade, then he’s too chicken to play in front of Jets fans,” said Peters. “Hey, that’s not the sort of guy I want chowing down at my restaurant.”
Meanwhile, competing restaurants wanting to capitalize on the controversy have released new Connor Hellebuyck menus.
“Grilled cheese with little slices of hot dog is our top seller,” said local restauranteur Greg Siemens. “Plus everyone who orders off our new Connor Hellebuyck menu gets a package of crayons and a free bowl of Jell-o.”
The Manitoba Human Rights Commission has already ruled that any restaurants is well within their rights to ban young bratty kids and Connor Hellebuyck.
