Half-an-hour before departure time, there were eleven players lined up for a big session. Ten minutes later, there were seven players and no goalies. This was going to be a weird one, and weird it was. Would the shorthanded BUSHwhackers impress the eyes of the visiting Stefan ...

No snow or rain or plague of locusts was in the forecast today. It was a nice, overcast 12 degrees; perfect for roller hockey once again organised by Mitch Detta. The parade of rookies and returnees continued today with the addition of James Hewlitt (cousin to Lee and ...

With the momentum gathered from Sunday’s first BUSH session of the year, it was right back on the horse; talks were in place Monday for a Wednesday afternoon session. The charge was led by one Mitch Detta, and rumour had it that he was lining up an outstanding crop ...

Six months. That’s how long it’s taken Burton United Socialist Hockey, or Burton Hockey period, to make it back to its home at John McCormack Memorial Park. A 2010 season that at one point was frightening in its volume was suddenly stopped dead last September. No Grenier, ...
