For the first time ever, two sessions of Burton Hockey were played simultaneously at two different arenas. Read here first about the VRH session at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, and then go to the next boxscore to read about the BUSH session at John McCormack Memorial Park followed by a summary of Useless Stats for both sessions this weekend. Here's Stefan to tell you about the VRH session (with a special admonishment from your humble statistician when Stef initially forgot the shot totals for the last three games).

Well after not knowing if we would have a session today or not, we finally heard from Dorian this morning who was bringing a friend. So we have added another rookie to V, Carter Barron of Creston, BC; former player of the Langley Hornets and Prince George Spruce Kings, and future player of the Camrose College hockey team. Anyway, due to Carlos not showing up we were forced to play half court, with uneven numbers, which somewhat messed up the teams. The first 4 games were largely uneven. When we finally changed it to Dorian and Carter we found a small balance. Bernie excelled today under the half court style, playing some excellent offense and defense. All in all we got 6 games in, and one final 1 goal game to decide the winner of the final series (this game ended like 1 min. after we started it). Hopefully next week we will have Tony back with us, and possibly see a few other regulars and newcomers to the game.

Gracias, Klopp! Well, the 3-on-2 half-court dynamic made life hell for the long-suffering Joern, who posted a miserly .692 battling against two teams at once. Carter shares first star honours in his debut session with 13G-6A, tying with Lorne at 10G-9A. Bernie grabs third star with 16 points followed by Stefan at 15 and Dorian at 13. Now go to the next boxscore for a BUSH summary and some Useless Stats!
