This, the second part of a Saturday, 21 October doubleheader, is stored on 22 October for computer purposes.
Saturday blossomed into a beautiful day and since Sundays are now
reserved for flag football, there was no reason not to play. At 2:15
Seamus and I made the calls, and at 3:00 we ...

A shocking development in Burton as the gang actually gets their shit together and plays- on a weekday, nonetheless!
The first of hopefully many after-work hockey sessions. Unfortunately,
this one was marred by great goaltending and a stifling defensive
system. Chris returns to Burton Hockey in style, and Nathan takes to
the ...

Stefan and Bernie from VRH made their way back to Burton this Thanksgiving weekend to prompt some long overdue BUSH action. Judging by the recent enthusiasm level on the east side of the Monashee, this may be the last BUSH session we see in while. Here's the chronically-injured ...

An old-school barnburner took place Sunday night in Burton as some old friends rejoined the fray:
One of the best sessions of the year, possibly the best. Brodie,
Dallas, and Anthony were added to the mix and rounded out the numbers
perfectly. 3 on 3 with 2 great goaltenders, and ...

With my apologies for the delay in posting the session thanks to an excellent vacation, Lee brings you an odd session from McCormack Park:
A seven-person regulars session, in which Nathan played out, Lee made
his 2006 goal debut, and Graeme was in full form.
Game 1: Oli Mitch ...
August 25, 2006
Some semi-belated stats from Lee. Consider this a sampler for the Monday night session on the 28th.
Justin and Graeme got the day off work, so we decided to play a day
session before the inevitable debauchery that would be Isamu's closing
down party.
Series 1: Lee Justin Nathan vs. ...
August 15, 2006
It was a Burton onslaught of goodness; the sixth BUSH session in three weeks! Here's Lee to tell you about it:
A furious session filled top to bottom with high caliber hockey players
produced one of the fastest most competitive sessions played this year.
Nathan and ...
August 13, 2006
No rest for the wicked in Burton, as Lee brings you seven games of goodness:
A spontaneous Sunday session saw Laird return to goal and put his 1.000
save % on the line.
Game 1: Lee Justin Nathan vs. Seamus - Graeme Mitch ...
August 11, 2006
More BUSH insanity from the Burton pavement as told by Lee:
A full court 3 on 3 session with great goaltending and some serious
offensive firepower. Who would prevail?
Game 1: Seamus - Mitch - Karl - Nathan vs. Lee - Graeme - Justin - KJ
5-1 Team Lee.
Domination. ...

Even back in the supposed year-2000 salad days of Burton Hockey, never had a weekend triple-header been pulled off. This weekend, the BUSH crew did it with flying colours. Lee provides a short recap of the end of the busiest weekend in Burton history, on what may be ...

Part 2 of our amazing BUSH triple-header from Leeroy:
Back to Backs sessions and the BUSH league is rolling. A five game
session with some new blood. Steve Cain.
Game 1: Lee - Seamus - Justin vs. KJ - Steve - Graeme - Nathan
Old school rules. ...
July 28, 2006
It's only been three weeks since BUSH last played a session, but it feels a hell of a lot longer. Even a three-game session is nice after such a layoff. Here's Lee with one of the smaller sessions in recent BUSH history:
Friday night hockey. 8pm start. ...
July 09, 2006
For the first time this year, no Koth-Kappii were present in Burton as Seamus assembled a session on the fly. To Leeroy:
Now, to Sunday's rather unique session.
A Sunday session spearheaded by Seamus. For the first time in a while
I didn't have to organize anything, it was ...
July 08, 2006
Well, we finally have another Burton-sustained injury to match Dylan's teeth going through his lip, Pat's fractured wrist and Seamus tearing all the skin off of his head and arm. To Leeroy:
The usual Saturday night session saw a new goaltender duel in Seamus
vs. Justin. A good session ...
July 04, 2006
Bernie continues his tour of duty in BUSH as Burton sees a father and son play on the pavement at the same time in the first mid-week session in quite some time. To Leeroy:
Another evening session, and another 4 games. This session saw the
arrival of Karl, the ...
June 30, 2006
BUSH played a Friday night session in Burton with Bernie coming in from VRH to play a one-off. It was also a historic night at McCormack as Oliver Koth-Kappus became the first player to score 1,000 points in Burton Hockey.
A historic moment in the glorious annals of Burton ...
June 24, 2006
BUSH laid forth a challenge to the sweltering heat of the Interior summer Saturday evening. Lee fills you up with what went down.
I'd almost forgotten why hockey dies off every summer. This session
was an abrupt reminder. Playing our first evening session, we
arrived
in Burton @ 5:30 in ...
June 11, 2006
Note: This session occurred simultaneously with the 10/6/06 VRH session and is stored on 11/6/06 solely for computer purposes.
Your humble statistician returned to McCormack Park Saturday afternoon to chronicle another session from the folks at Burton United Socialist Hockey, the second half of a Burton Hockey cross-BC doubleheader. The ...
June 03, 2006
A few interesting statistical notes for you, Kyle. Seamus had 17
assists in 6 games. Then Ollie told him how close he was to the record
and he didn't get another one. Chris had a stretch where he was
completely unbeatable. 50 saves in 2 games. Mitch ...
May 27, 2006
One of the lost mythological characters of Burton hockey reemerged from the mist this weekend to play his first sanctioned session. Leeroy hits you up with the goodness.
For weeks there had been whispers and innuendos pointing to the long
awaited return of one of the original founding fathers of Burton ...
May 22, 2006
For the first time ever, both leagues of Burton hockey played sessions on the same weekend. They couldn�t have been more different. While VRH got in nine games in a marathon session, BUSH slugged it out through a massive downpour at the end of Burton May Days to ...
May 13, 2006
BUSH continued supplying their high shot-volume, freewheeling style of Burton hockey this weekend. Here's Lee to almost tell you about it.
From the hallowed halls of Burton hockey, come more stats.
7 games today. And 5 different series, so I'm not going to do the
series by series write-up. The ...
May 06, 2006
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 ...
April 14, 2006
After a year of trash-talking, nay-saying, false starts and generally ass-fuckery, it was time for the long awaited battle between Burton United Socialist Hockey (John McCormack Memorial Park, Burton BC) and Vancouver Roller Hockey (Ambleside Park, West Vancouver, BC). BUSH came confident, hailing from the hometown of Burton Hockey ...
