Court documents identify Extreme Hockey & Sport, a sporting equipment retailer in Regina, as the business involved in the alleged fraud.
According to the Regina Police Service, the investigation began in June 2026 after a business reported being the victim of internal theft and fraud, resulting in losses exceeding $1 million.
The Regina Police Service Financial Crimes Unit led the investigation, which resulted in Uhren’s arrest Tuesday, Nov. 10.
During Thursday’s court appearance, the Crown and defence agreed to a series of release conditions, which Uhren told the court he understood and would follow.
Among those conditions, Uhren is prohibited from attending Extreme Hockey & Sport, located at 1425 McIntyre Street in Regina.
He is also prohibited from contacting several individuals named in the court order, either directly or indirectly, except under specific circumstances involving legal proceedings or lawyers.
The restrictions extend to social media, where Uhren is prohibited from referring to those individuals. He is also barred from attending their homes, workplaces or educational institutions.
The court imposed additional conditions limiting Uhren’s ability to work in positions involving financial responsibility or authority over businesses and organizations.
Under the order, Uhren cannot obtain or continue employment, or serve as a volunteer, director, officer or agent in a position of trust involving the financial affairs of a company, corporation, partnership, business or organization, unless the specified exceptions or written-consent requirements are met.
Those restrictions include positions with authority to make payments by cheque, credit cards, electronic funds transfers, payroll, or accounts payable.
The conditions include an exception for businesses wholly owned by Uhren, along with provisions allowing certain other financial responsibilities with prior written disclosure of the court order and written consent from the business.
Uhren was also permitted to contact one individual named during the hearing, but was specifically prohibited from discussing the case, evidence or statements provided to investigators with that person.
The judge warned Uhren that breaching any of the conditions could result in additional criminal charges and a return to custody.
Uhren acknowledged the warning and agreed to follow the conditions.
The matter was adjourned to Dec. 10, 2026, at 9:30 a.m.
None of the allegations against Uhren have been proven in court.
