Having returned to the ancestral hockey homeland of Burton and reclaimed the Fuller Cup for Vancouver Roller Hockey, it was time for Stefan, Dominik, and the Koth-Kappi to return triumphantly to VRH action at Ambleside Park on a sunny Labour Day. A special guest would be returning as well today. ...

The annual convergence of Nakuspians, Vancouverites, and Arrow Lakes ex-pats at Taite Creek south of Fauquier is becoming a beloved August tradition each August. With so many Burton Hockey alumni in the camping roster, it only makes sense to tie hockey into the festivities, especially when it gives players who ...

In a word: muggy. The sun was out, the wind was out, and no one brought the sunscreen. BUSH kicked off June with plans for a long session with plenty of action. It was indeed long (nearly four hours even) and was certainly full of action (more awesome 3-on-3 with ...

Well, unfortunately no write-up came with this boxscore, and it’s too bad, because this session made Burton Hockey history as Bron Mach returned to VRH to throw down a .918 in goal, setting an all-time record for goaltending in a VRH session and dethroning Dom Voser's old record of ...

The May long weekend has been the major holiday celebration in Burton dating all the way back to the 1910s, and pretty well everyone in the valley has a fond memory of their times spent in Burton during May. Burton Hockey is no exception, so despite the forecast and regardless ...

Getting back to the task at hand, the BUSH gang reassembled at McCormack Park on a bright, sunny day in Burton for three series of hockey. The goalies switched it up today. With Seamus skating and Alex away, K.J. would make his return to goal against Scott in his rookie ...

Typically, the major weekend of the year in the sleepy burg of Burton is the May long weekend, during which hundreds descend upon its tranquil shores to get away from it all (in the process making it somewhat less tranquil). This year, it seems that the folks of Nakusp decided ...

The beauty of Vancouver is that with a little co-operation from the weather gods, outdoor hockey can be played virtually any time of year. Despite a low turnout, the good weather and two goalies was too much to pass up, and VRH would have its first session of 2014 only ...
