PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. -- The father of an NHL player and his alleged lover have pleaded not guilty to charges that they plotted to murder their spouses in Saskatchewan.

The trial has started for Curtis Vey, the father of Vancouver Canucks forward Linden Vey, and Angela Nicholson, who each face two charges of conspiracy to commit murder.

Crown prosecutor Lori O'Connor said in her opening address that in July 2013, Curtis Vey's wife, Brigette, suspected her husband was cheating on her. She hid her iPod under the kitchen table and set it to record when she went to work.
