Burton United Socialist Hockey played its second session of the year and put up some massive statistics, especially in the shot column. Throw in the third generation of Dettas to play Burton hockey, and, well, I�ll let Lee Orr tell you about it�

The BUSH league finally got it together and played some hockey. Some interesting stats to come out of this one. Of special note - Nathan made 89 saves on Seamus. Possibly the most ever by a goalie on a single player.
Series 1: Lee Oliver Nathan vs. Graeme Seamus Chris
Lee and Olli dominated the first game, winning 5-0 on 5 goals from Lee. Seamus and Graeme took it to them in game 2, surprising them with a 5-3, on 5 goals from Seamus. But Lee and Olli took the series with a 5-3 win.
Series 2: Lee Graeme Nathan vs. Seamus Olli Chris
Nathan really started to shine in goal. Lee and Graeme opened with a 5-3 win, followed by a 5-2 loss in a poor effort, but Nathan shined throughout.
Series 3: Lee Seamus Chris vs. Mitch Graeme Olli Nathan
In what continues to be an ongoing saga, Lee and Seamus could never really get anything going. Losing 5-1 5-4, in convincing fashion. On the other side of the coin, Graeme exploded with 5 goals and 4 assists in 2 games, showing his offensive touch. Mitch joined the fray, fitting in nicely with 2 goals and 3 assists in 2 games. In the end, Olli ruled the day, going 5-2 and dominating defensively at the same time putting up huge offensive numbers, 8 goals and 16 assists.

Thank you muchly, Leeroy! Wow, you can tell that kind of freewheeling offensive session this was just by looking at those ungodly shot totals, which is the brilliance of 2-on-2, I suppose. Oliver and Lee did what they do best. Oliver takes first star honours with 8-16-24 just ahead of Lee with 18-5-23. Oliver�s 59 shots is certainly an anomaly in a career personified by passing and defense. Graeme was impressive in his season debut taking third star ahead of Seamus and his mind-numbing 102 shots on goals, a number almost never thought of as possible in just seven games. Mitchell averaged 2.5 PPG in his debut session, a fine effort. He joins father Karl and great-uncle Lyle to create three generations of Burton hockey tradition. In goal, it was classic Nathan: high shot volume, high save percentage. .861 and a shutout with 137 shots against is quite impressive. Chris was a bit below par at .744.

Seamus set the season shot total high last time with 60; this session�s 102 shots obliterate that mark. Lee�s 64 is second and Oliver�s 59 is fourth. Nathan�s .861 is the second-best goaltending session this year. He is also the first goalie in 2006 to make 100 save in a session. Chris� 87 save tie for fifth-best this year. On the all-time front, Oliver crosses the 900-point mark and is just 15 points behind Lorne for the all-time lead (this should be an interesting cross-province battle all year). Lee passes 600 points and has moved ahead of Justin for fourth in all-time scoring, just two points behind Bernie. Seamus is 25 points away from 600. Graeme needs six points to become the 14th player to reach 200. Lee passes Justin for third all-time in goals, he is 29 behind Oliver.

Nathan passes Joern for third in games goaltended and ties Joern for second in shutouts. Oliver passes Seamus for fourth in all-time three-star points and is just five behind Justin for third. Oliver�s 16 assists tie for the fifth highest session total of all-time. And, as you may have guessed, Burton hockey�s longest-standing record is no more. Joe�s six-year old record for most shots in a session was broken by Seamus, just the second time a single person has hit the century mark for shots in a session. Nathan�s .826 so far this year in net would tie for the fifth-highest single season total. Lee moves into second in all-time ten-goal sessions ahead of Justin with 18. He also ties Joe for third in 15-goal sessions with five. This is Oliver�s 25th ten-assist session (Lee is the next closest with ten). Seamus ties Justin for fourth in 15-pointers. Oliver ties Seamus for second in 20-pointers with 12; Lee has 11. This was Seamus� eight consecutive session. Nathan and Chris each have 15 80-save sessions; this was the 12th consecutive for Chris and fifth straight for Nathan. This is the fourth straight 90-save session for Nathan, the second-longest streak ever. He also has three straight 100-save sessions. Chris� 90-save streak ends at two. On the SDF, Jason celebrates five consecutive sessions on top. Lee jumps ahead of Stefan and Seamus into third and Oliver moves into sixth. Lee jumps from twelfth to seventh. On the GDF, Nathan�s monster session rockets him up to the top of the rankings. Laird falls to third and Chris moves up to fourth. Don�t forget those Records and Honours, and let�s hope that both BUSH and VRH can get out as often as possible and heat this season up.
