Finally, after ten days of meetings, roller hockey returned to Burton, and so did Jeremy in his first session since last July. There was quite a stir when it was announced that K.J. would be tending the goal, his previous exploits in the Burton nets not that great. Rather than annihilation, a goaltender's duel broke out. Laird, Lorne, Rob, Jeremy and K.J. took the first series 2-1 over Karl, Oliver, Bernie, Nathan, Seamus and Graeme. It looked like a four-way battle between Lorne, Robert, Seamus and Jeremy but Seamus had expended himself. After eight points in two games he only had five the rest of the session and sat the last game in disgust. Karl, Rob, Lorne, Bernie, Ol and Nathan took the next series 2-0 over Laird, Graeme, Jeremy, Seamus and K.J. K.J. would get his revenge with a shutout in series 3, leading Seamus, Robert, Graeme and Ol to a 2-0 victory over the Bilinskis, Karl and Nathan. The Koth-Kappi and Bilinskis pooled together with Nathan but couldn't beat Graeme, Karl, Jeremy, K.J. and Robert in the final game. K.J. narrowly beat Nathan .842-.835 but Nathan had 162 saves, second all-time. Robert led the day with 15 goals and 10 points, posting back-to-back 25-point sessions despite being consistently stoned by the Cage. Lorne tried feeding Robert constantly but it didn't work and Lorne wound up with 16 goals but just three assists. On the flip side of that, Jeremy only had two goals on 35 shots but posted 15 assists. Graeme only had four goals but each goal was amazing, including a bunt, a breakaway and a bank shot from behind the net.

Useless Stats: Robert now moves into second in 2004 scoring but has a long way to catch Lorne at 163-98. He also moves into second in goals, assists and shots and easily sets a new season high with 82 session shots. Nathan moves up to .820 in net for the year but is now third as K.J. debuts in 2004 with .842, bringing his all-time average to .798. He is already third in saves this year and .842 is the season's fifth-best performance. He also moves into third in games goaltended ahead of Lyle. Nathan's 162 saves were a Burton season-high and second all-time, however; K.J.'s 123 ranks him fourth for the year. Lorne is still the only player to play every game this year and his 63 shots are the third-highest total this year. Needless to say, Jeremy is now the leader in assists-per-game after posting the season's third-highest assist total. On the all-time front, Lorne, who was second in all-time scoring at the beginning of they year, is now a whopping 93 points ahead of Oliver, 770-677. Laird moves two points ahead of Justin into fifth all-time with 350 points and becomes the third person to play 300 games. Oliver is now three assists away from 400, and Robert becomes the 12th player to hit 100 (as well as 500 shots). Bernie maintains second over Lorne, 285-282. For only the third time ever, someone (Rob) racks up back-to-back 25-point sessions. Robert becomes the fifth player to have 10 ten-goal sessions, which is pretty amazing considering he's only played in ten. Ten consecutive 10-goal sessions is also a record. Robert now also has six 15-goal sessions, second all-time behind Lorne who sets the record for consecutive 15-goal sessions with four (Robert has two). Lorne now has four straight 10-goal sessions, the third-longest streak of all time. Robert is also third in 10-assist sessions with five and 20-point sessions with eight both behind Oliver and Lorne. This was Lorne's fifth straight fifteen-point session, although his twenty-point session streak ends at four. Bernie's 23 consecutive sessions is the second-longest streak of all-time behind Ollie's 34. Lorne has a streak of eight and Laird, six. This is Nathan's fifth straight session with 80 or more saves, a record; 90 or more saves, a record; 100 or more saves, a record; second straight session with 100 saves, a record, fifth 100-save session, a record; the only person ever to have back-to-back sessions in the 110+ range, a record.
