Announcements
Hey Guys, we will not be meeting for our usual Hockey Night meeting on August 14th/2007 because this week Vacation Bible School is happening and reigns supreme as far as priority. I encourage you if perhaps there is nothing for you to do on this night to come and help, because we would love to have you play a part in this fun filled event and I (Darrell) will personally help you find something to help with if thats your wish.
Also just a reminder the ages for Vacation Bible School are Kindergarden through to Grade 5 so if you have children within this age bracket, bring them on out and I promise there will not be a dull moment for them. I anticipate that this will be a big hit for the kids and it will become one of the highlights of your childs summer. So come on out to VBS: Water works Park.
Bring your swimming wear or a Towel, because its going to be a SPLASH!(note the pun).

Last week of Hockey Night Approaches
August 21st... A Finale of all the fun we have had this summer. This will be the date for the final evening of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner. There will be many surprises on this night, so please be here for this exciting closing game and join in on the fun. The where abouts of this game is not yet decided, so keep checking the blog for this information as we may meet in the KVMS Parking lot or perhaps somewheres else....

Pepsi 3 Stars of the Game

3rd Star with 7(42) goals, 5(39) assists,12(81)Points, making the star list for his fourth evening straight is Jacob Ebbett. Jacob only came to Hockey Night once last year, but his presence is definetly known to all as he puts up big numbers this year.

2nd Star usually assumes the role of playmaker each night and for that fact is amongst the top in the league. Night after night he holds the Straka, Jagr role with usually Jacob or Adam. Because he played that role on this night he has 6(44) goals, 6(45) assists, 12(89) points. Proud to present Christian Haines the second star.

1st Star is probably the most widely criticized at Hockey Night when he has an off night, but has kept balanced the whole season for scoring. Lucky to have this guy around this season and he has also made his name known among the All-Time top to ever play at Hockey Night this year. Adam Hanson who could be Hockey Nights future, is our first star with 14(91)Goals, 2(34) assists, 16(125) points on the night.

Your votes for Lester B. Pearson
With the last night of Hockey Night quickly approaching the awards are being chosen for this years MVP's. Below is a poll registering your vote for the Lester B. Pearson.
The Criteria for the award is listed below:

Most Outstanding Player as Selected by the BCCOC Players

Star Selection July 31st

2007-08-06T05:57:00.000-07:00

The Pepsi 3 Stars of the Game

Your 3rd Star of the game is a man who has truly upped his game as of late, becoming recognized as a offensive mind now, Mr. Justin Anderson. Justin lately has played some wicked awesome defense and has truly picked his pockets. His biggest defensive problem which is probably the only thing he needs to fix is his tendancy to throw the ball up the middle, giving an assist to the opposing team. Aside from that Congrats Justin. Justin recorded 1 goal, 3 assists, 4 points on the night.

2nd star of the game, making his season debute tonight and probably his only appearence was Ben Foreman. Foreman is known to get in the head of his opponents and this was probably a lead contribution to his play tonight as he has 3 goals, 2 assists, 5 points on the year and in this game.

1st Star of the game, who is not new to this list with his gameplay is Jacob Ebbett. Ebbett after the first couple meetings of the season went for a turn, that has ultimately raised his stats big over this year. Jacob recorded 4 goals, 5 assists, 9 points on the evening.

See you all tomarrow night as we have a guest speaker coming from Fredericton tomarrow for our pre-game Message.
God Bless!
See you all tomarrow!

Determination rocks the evening at Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner

2007-07-26T09:13:00.000-07:00

Lucas Brown and Christian Haines exchange words, as they proved to be the determination factor of the game last Tuesday.

Reminders
Everyone make sure when you come on Tuesday night, that you bring with you a pair of non-marking shoes. This Tuesday coming, there will be a shoe check at the door. If you fail to meet requirements, I am afraid we will have to get you to watch for the evening.

Pepsi 3 Stars of the Game

3rd star of the game from Team Awesome was Troy Riddicker, who posted his highest scoring game on the night. 27 Goals, 25 Assists, 52 Points on the season.

2nd star of the game was a record breaker on this evening as he shattered the record for most games played by a person in Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner history. He would pass the ball at many aspects playing the playmaker... which led Adam Hanson to his 100th point. He was also the Determining factor in his teams going to a shootout in game 1 of the night. Christian Haines of the determinators is our second star of the night as he brings his total on the season to: 35 goals, 35 assists, 70 points.

1st star of the game played under the skin of the determinators all night long and because of this, he was able to pop in a couple goals. This night was a season high night for Mr. Lucas Brown as he brang his totals up grately on the evening to help his team to victory in both games. Lucas now has 13 goals, 25 assists, 38 points on the season.

At that, Hockey Night will be a go for next week and within the next couple of weeks sometime, we are hoping to have another guest speaker. That means be there and get there on time, because the next guest speaker is a big one.

Whats the worst thing that could happen on a Tuesday?

2007-07-18T14:30:00.001-07:00

Hockey Cancelled for Tuesday July 24th

Why is it cancelled? Why?
Hey Guys, I know that each and every week, many of you look forward to when Tuesday finally rolls around simply because you know that in the evening on Tuesdays, we meet for Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner. Hockey Night has served to be something special to each and every one of us, thats why its so disappointing when its gotta be cancelled. Unfortunately, this week Dan and Darrell will both be travelling to Deer Island to lead a camp and because many of you are going as well, it would not be worth it for Hockey Night to happen. Our apologies to those who would have been able to play on this evening, but it would not have been good for the things we have planned later for Hockey Night, if we were to hold Hockey in the absence of so many people.

Physicality and Missing people
Guys when we meet on Tuesdays, just something to address for our next meeting is the tension level and physicality. Very important that everyone remember to keep their sticks down while playing, because someone may be seriously injured and we do not want that. I am under the impression that many people who would regularly attend who have been missing in the last couple weeks, have sat out the evening, because they have been to sore, or afraid of being hurt, playing with the competitive nature of those who attend Hockey Night. For the safety of others and for the success of Hockey Night, I ask that we all remember for the next Hockey Night to think of those around you and seek friendship with oneanother, not war.

Marking shoes
Just a quick reminder. On our last meeting many of us stayed late afterward to clean up marks from someone using marking shoes. I am sorry, but in our next meeting we will be doing another shoe check. If you do not already have non-marking soles, I suggest getting some during the week off. Those without non-marking soles, I must apologize, but by the regulations of the gymnasium, we are not allowed to wear just any shoe, because it will destroy the playing floor. Please address this guys, I appreciate it.

Nothing but the best at Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner

2007-07-05T11:04:00.000-07:00

Jacob Ebbett warming up in pre-game for an anticipated intense game this week, between Team Awesome and Team Face.
FRANCHISE PLAYERS
The message tonight was about us being Franchise Players, looking to build to God's kingdom based on 1 Corinthians 3:1-9. As God's Franchise players let us this week be challenged to build on the foundation Jesus Christ has set, being His Franchise players motivating our fellow workers, to add and build a way for the future of His team.

Time to Step It Up!
Hockey Night will happen as scheduled on Tuesday, July 10th/2007 and will not be cancelled this week as we may have anticipated. Adam Hanson has graciously offered his time to run the program for this week, but we will not meet this week, until 6:30pm.
Try to be there no earlier than 6:30pm so that Adam has time to set up. Also just a reminder to everyone to try and help Adam in every way possible to clean up when the evening is finished. Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner is a fun thing, but a big responsibility to those who run it each week and thats why it is important that you help out. I do not want to mention what the consequence of not cleaning up is, but if we all chip in as the team we are at Hockey Night, than we can accomplish great things. Because you are all Awesome People and I pray that God Blesses each and everyone.

Pepsi Three Stars of The Game

The 3rd star of the game from Team Face who recorded most of his points in Game 1 and is making his first star appearence was Darrell Haines. Darrell Haines with the statistics he recorded tonight brings his totals to 6(7) Goals, 3(18) Assists, for 9(25) Points on the season.

Second Star of the game from Team Face with much help from Mr.Adam Hanson on the scoreboard, was a force all night. He played a lot of time in the Penalty box, but got a lot of points on the floor. Christian Haines was deserving of a Star tonight as he recorded 4(22) Goals, 6(19) Assists, for 10(41) Points on the night and his aggressive play landed him in the penalty box for 10(24) minutes.

Then we have our 1st star of the game, who was on the winning Team both times and played again, a huge part in the games flow. We could call him a playmaker or call him a shot faker, because somehow he always seems to contribute to the ball being in the net. Congradulations to tonights star of the game, Jacob Ebbett who has in the last couple weeks edged up big in the standings. Jacob tonight for the first time without Christian recorded 6(10) goals, 6(26) Assists, 12(50) Points.

Meeting Tuesday

2007-07-02T08:28:00.001-07:00

Anyweek now we expect to move to Wednesday, so for your interest, keep checking the blog, because we would love to have you all keep on coming out. Talk to you Tomarrow Night!...Keep Posted!

When Worlds Collide

2007-06-28T09:16:00.000-07:00

Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner at Its Best!

The young became old and the old became young in heart, as they join forces to find the meaning of Teamwork in week 5.

Post Game Review
The evening started out tonight with guest speaker Dan Foreman, speaking to the Hockey Night crew about Teamwork at its best. How we should seek to motivate oneanother and be willing to do anything for oneanother, taking the example of our savior. Tonight was a fast night and it seemed that if any night Hockey Night was in God's Glory it was on Tuesday.
When a group of men and women, both young and old can become bonded and blended together in such a unifying and cooperative blend as what the group was Tuesday, thats when fellowship begins to boarder on its best, as God intends us.
Hope we will see you out next week!
Lets Bring the community out to Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner!
Thats the place to be, Tuesday Nights from 6:00pm to 8:35pm.

Your Pepsi Three Stars of the Game
This weeks Pepsi, three stars were close in stature and for the first time, opinion had to bridge the gap in some of these star listings. Really on this night, we were all stars, but lets honor the following:

The Third Star of the game from Team Awesome was a guy who just never slowed down the whole night. He was all over and just like his teammates which were mostly young guys, showed lots of heart on the night. The Third star goes to Brad Underhill with 4(22) goals, 4(17) assists, 8(39) Points, in 8 games played this season.

Second Star of the game which almost never made the list for his first time this season, was our league leader Adam Hanson. On this night he helped run the turbines which were fired by the combination of Christian and Jacob, which was headed most times by Christian from Jacob, or Jacob from Christian in scoring. This was Adams lowest scoring game, but he played well recording 5(37) goals, 7(25) assists, 12(62) points in his 8th game of the year.

Then finally, our First Star of the game, who was honored on this night. Seems fitting that this was a special evening for this individual and he totally upped his game to show his growing experience. On this night Jacob Ebbett, "got a little Older" and played a fast paced game to have one of his best nights of the year. I noted on this evening Jacob really limited his floor time, which was fitting of a team leader, looking to his teammates to play part. But when he was on the floor, he seemed invincible scoring 5(17) goals, 8(17) assists, 13(34) points in his 8th game.

This was quite an evening and we invite you out to the fun next week... stay posted on the day of our next meeting. Could be Tuesday, could be Wednesday?
Check the blog everyday and the post will be up soon!
Thanks and God Bless!

Suprise Transitions made for this coming Hockey Night

2007-06-24T15:57:00.000-07:00

Surprise, Surprise!
As many of you know, Hockey night was cancelled last week due to prom night and we would like to extend a belated congradulations to our grads. Hockey Night will resume at its usual time, this coming Tuesday, June 26th as there will be big things going down on this night and we hope you will be back out to play.
The invitation is always out there as well to those who wish to bring along friends to play or to just watch. Hockey Night will be soon moving to another day, but with the new day, may be other transitions following, which would be accomodated well, by those you have come and play.
Things have been a bit bumpy over the last couple of weeks with things, but it is my prayer that we may find a peace among eachother that allows each person unity with eachother. I believe that unity may be the answer to much of what Hockey Night is missing at the moment and I think we have the potential to have that unity, to be a Team and be servants truly for God, influencing oneanother in a positive sense.
See you all Tuesday!

Hockey Night Cancelled for Prom Night

2007-06-18T07:20:00.000-07:00

Prom Night In Burtt's Corner
Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner has been great so far, but when all this prom stuff is over, thats when the fun will really begin. The question was, where to be this Tuesday night and by a show of hands, the clear indication was at the prom.
Oh yeah! If its your turn to wear the pink tux, wish you the best fun on this night.
Because there will be a minimal number of interest on this evening, we will not be meeting for Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner, so please spread the word and make sure to tell people to check the blog, which they obviously did if they knew Hockey Night was cancelled.
Anyway, no Hockey Tonight... see you at the Prom!
or if your not at the prom, I guess if your like me, you will be chilling in front of the Television, writing a sermon or playing video games!

P.S. On the post below is a voting pole, make sure to cast your vote and the results will be in the Next Hockey Night Bulletin.

Appearance of the Oldstars Questionable?

2007-06-18T07:19:00.000-07:00

Lily looks very unhappy while her mother smiles, as the OldStars take two... furthering their record.
Big Topics
As the evening began and people were showing up for Hockey night, it seemed that there was only one Old Star who dared show up, with Dan Foreman out of the lineup. Noting this reality, Youngsters leader Christian Haines lean over and said, "will the Old Stars show up on this night." That was a question, which seemed close to my mind as the message was almost complete. Steadily one by one the Oldstars showed up and led by Darrell Haines in goal and Adam Hanson's contributions offensively, the team shelled over 60 shots at Lucas Brown to show up in Game 1. This was only a preview of Game 2, when the Oldstars would switch net minders and defeat the youngsters again by a number of goal, making the youngsters look let down in the early goings of the game. Tonight was a night the Old Stars truly showed up and Christian Haines running into the "Wall" that is his brother, as he (Christian) left his feet, was an indication of the Oldstars strength... As the youngsters gave it all, but that wall still stood, while they were on the ground.
Maybe next week!
Critical Things to Note
Coming to the serious side of this post, please comment if you are willing to volunteer to help clean up. Each night the stressload just gets dumped, in order to leave the Gym on time. If there must be interaction afterward, please if you are able, give a helping hand to remove everything that must be removed and put things back as they were afterward. I pray this will not be a problem and appreciate greatly those who have already given their help, those individuals know who they are and Thank you!
Pepsi Three Stars of the Game

3rd Star of the game from the Old Stars Troy Riddicker. Troy not only played excellent Defense and is our first defensive player to make the list this year, but he also put himself up there in scoring tonight. Troy played both ways all night, bringing his deserving totals to 15 goals, 10 assists, 25 points in 6 games.

2nd Star from the Oldstars Jesse Huchinson. Jesse upped his game big tonight, playing the puck forward to others and shooting on net himself and he almost took Adam Hanson for first star of the game, which is a give away of first star. Jesse now has 10 goals, 21 assists, 31 points on the season in his 6 games playing.

1st Star and you guessed it, certainly not debatable, but Adam Hanson. Seems that Adam just knows where to be and when he has no clue where he is and gets the ball, he puts himself in the position to be where he has to be... if he cannot get there, he will pass. Tonight is a milestone evening in Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner as not only does Adam Hanson total Murray Spencers records for most season points, but also Graham Crandall's record for most goals as well. Can this guy be stopped? He has 32 Goals, 19 Assists, 51 Points in 6 games... Perhaps MVP Material? No?

What changes need made, before its too late?
The youngsters have made much improvement, which is evident... although their numbers are still low. Only two people on their team our almost close to the top of the league leaders. Is there anything to work on, or should the youngsters admit to defeat? Vote your input... maybe it will be helpful.

Old News In Week Two

2007-06-05T17:42:00.000-07:00

Dan Foreman goaltender for the Oldstars on this night, added to his statistics big time in week 2.

Pepsi Three Stars of the Game

1st star of the game posted 25 saves, allowing 3 goals in Game one, which essentially approved his being star of the game. He played excellently on this evening, yet his defense was shoveling his rebounds out of the zone. Him and his defensive core (mainly Joey), combined to keep the ball from the net on many occasions. Dan Foreman is our first star as he holds 90 saves, 6 Assists, 15 Goals Allowed... in a mere 4 games, which is highly exceptional in floor hockey.

2nd Star of the game, did not play the same as last game... but he was still holding up the Oldstars the entire game. He has broken Hockey Night records in only 4 games. The game play of this man is amazing and he is clearly the standout player of the Oldstars. Now with 18 Goals, 13 Assists and 31 points... he has shown why he is playing it oldschool. Adam Hanson is our second star as he is leading the league in points and goals, yet has still made only a couple penalty box appearances, which is rare for the leading goal scorer.

3rd Star was the toughest to pick especially since the statistics were so close in the race for third star. The main thing that helped the decision easy in this case was that one of the two eligible third stars were a rookie in Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner. Both people played for the Oldstars and thats what made the call difficult. Nonetheless, Third star of the game earned his spot on this list, posting 6 goals, 6 assists in both games tonight. Brad Underhill who is eligible for Rookie of the year, is our third star... as his statistics advance to 12 Goals, 9 Assists, 21 Points on the summer.
Brad has impressed people in his short time playing thats for sure... as he is even in the runnings for the Season MVP, along with various other awards.

This was an excellent night of Hockey guys. I believe truthfully that Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner knows what it means to have TRUE FELLOWSHIP and its as the early Church did, they added to their numbers daily. Tonight including spectators there were 29 people in attendace, which is a Hockey Night High and for that tonight you are all stars. There is joy in having people come and share in the fun that we are able to have. Thanks for coming out, see you all next week!

Looking forward to Tuesday

2007-06-03T15:49:00.000-07:00

Things have really been busy since we have got underway with Hockey Night this year. God has truly blessed us though, in light of all inconveniences. Last year we never started playing until July and here we are entering June and this coming week we will be doing our second evening of Hockey Night.
I really hope you can all make it out on time. Looking forward a lot to this week, because this weeks goal is to define the essence and meaning of what Hockey Night means. Hope you will show up on this night and lay back and enjoy yourselves, and the awesome oppurtunity this evening gives us to serve the Lord.
Should be an awesome night and hope we will see you all there. Spread the word, because the word is good and is definetly the defining playbook of life.
See you Tuesday at 6:00pm as we jump into the word for the first time of the summer and enjoy this great fellowship in the name of the Lord.
See you all there!

The scene is cut for the night

2007-05-29T12:31:00.000-07:00

Three weeks, two of three cancelled... not a lot of Hockey happening but its all cool. I appreciate your support guys with all that is going on. This evening again because the school is paying respects to the loss of a loved one, we will be cancelling hockey for Cindy Stairs funeral. I thank you for your respects and ask that you trade off your attention this evening to this family.
Thankyou for understanding
God Bless!

Evening one Intense from Beginning to End...

2007-05-22T18:33:00.001-07:00

Week won saw the Oldstars take Game 1 and drop Game 2 when Dan Foreman played young

Great Success In Week One
This first week proved very successful after an unfortunate cancellation of the scheduled debute. None the less, this week proved to live up to the hype as the speed, by comment of some had increased greatly in everyones game. Also the penalty percentage went down dramatically in comparison to last year.
Everyone appeared to have had fun in Week one, as there were Eighteen bodies out for the first evening who played the game and five spectators, which is awesome guys. It was very impressing and everyone deserves at pat on the back for this evening and really we are all Stars tonight.

When Trouble strikes
When trouble strikes, one must seek to fix it in any situation. The greatest problem so far has been with the sticks people are using and footware, which I consider a decent problem. For next week we ask that everyone have a stick without black tape, but rather taped with white tape instead. The black tape marks the floors badly.
Also marking shoes Cannot be used. We must do everything to avoid marking up the floors, because if we fail, we abuse our privelage. If this happens often then Hockey Night cannot continue for long.
Everyone I ask to please help deal with this problem. This is such a blessing to all of us and the fun we had tonight was nothing compared to what is to come.

Our Pepsi Three Stars of the Game

1st Star of the game recorded a Hockey Night record 7 Goals in his first game back. This man played great the whole evening and not only scored but sought helpers from teamates all evening. This man was by far the best player for tonight and He is the Old Stars...
Adam Hanson who recorded 8G, 6A, 14P

2nd Star of the game was only playing his 2nd and 3rd ever games at Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner and proved to equal out his statistics on this night. In all, he was the transitional player. I recall once on this evening he got a wrap around to beat the Old Stars goaltender Seth, who played his second game this evening. Our Star from the Youngsters...
Jacob Ebbett who recorded 6G, 6A, 12P

3rd Star of the game is renouned from last season for his penalty minutes, although on this night, he stayed out of trouble for the majority of the game. This certainly proved as a blessing to him, as he almost out did his last season totals in one night. In fact, I believe this is the first time the youngsters have ever had two stars on the Weekly Star report and the third star from the youngers...
Christian Haines who recorded 7G, 4A, 11P

Thankyou to all who attended tonight, we will see you next week at 6:00pm, where we will hope to here a message delivered by Darrell Haines for our pre-game prep.
God Bless! and Enjoy your weeks....

When the Ball Drops!

2007-05-19T13:52:00.000-07:00

Its only three days away from the debute of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner on Tuesday, May 21st/2007 and people are already talking. There are many people who have been waiting for this night since last summer and its hard to believe that we are only days away from hopefully the first evening.
If you have not already asked people to come out or heard yourself about Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner, we hope that you will do so. The lines have been drawn and hopefully the teams picked, as it might be another summer of Younsters vs Oldstars. Who will you play for? With the lines chosen, there is only one factor which remains and that is the standout players. Perhaps this will be determined as Hockey Night Starts this coming Tuesday.
See you there!

Finally it is time for the ball to drop and for Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner to begin. Took lots of negotiation but on May.15th/2007 the ball will be dropped and the fun will begin. I felt that last year Hockey Night was not only fun for us all, but also something that allowed us to grow closer to oneanother. My encouragement to all for the first night of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner, is that you will invite your friends into the fun.
This year will be very exciting and hope you will all look forward to what is to come. We will be meeting from 6:00pm to 8:35pm every Tuesday night until the summer begins. After the school year ends, then hopefully things will be switched up to Wednesday. Hope you will be there.
See you on the Floor!

What does Hockey Night in Burtt's Corner mean to you?

2006-11-09T09:34:00.000-08:00

What Hockey Night Means to me...
I am aware that at the current moment, not many check this blog out. This blog has been inaccesible for a little while. If plans go right, I pray that there will be one meeting of the Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner during the winter at some point.
Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner means a lot to me, as does my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is my #1 reason for helping in establishing Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner and you guys were a huge reason for this success. All who came and watched, all who played, it was all part of the plan of making a successful fellowship between Christians. I truly believe that God has enabled us the oppurtunity to enjoy this fellowship so frequently because it is in His plan to helping people to recognize Him.
The greatest thing in the world is to know that you can use one thing that you love to further another that you love. I love Jesus, Hockey is not greater than the things that He has done to work in my life. When I do everything, it is as though He has always been there with me, even while I was playing Hockey.
There are lots of cool things that are being planned to happen if we are able to have this fellowship continue. This excitement is something that approaches me on a weekly basis. We even have a logo now, that is exciting. The excitement of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner is great!, but in the excitement, I encourage all to keep the reason for all seasons in sight, that which is Jesus Christ. I wish a Merry Christmas to All!
God Bless! Always...

Hockey Night Highlight/ Skill For September 21/ 2006

2006-09-17T12:11:00.000-07:00

Doug Gilmour

Doug Gilmour was the Hero of The Toronto Maple Leafs Franchise for many years. Witht he aquisition of Doug Gilmour in the 1991-1992 season came the excitement and Passion to the game of Hockey In Toronto.
I believe that Toronto Is Truly a Hockey town, and that is because of the Leafs Nation. All true Leafs fans can relate to knowing that Doug Gilmour is the one who brought light out of Darkness for the Leafs Franchise, that same light all Leafs fans are looking to return in the upcoming NHL Season.

Doug Gilmour as a Leaf:

Honours
1993-94: NHL - Played in All-Star Game
1992-93: NHL - Frank J. Selke Trophy (Best Defensive Forward)
1992-93: NHL - Played in All-Star Game
1988-89: NHL - Won Stanley Cup championship with the Calgary Flames
1982-83: OHL - Red Tilson Trophy (Most Oustanding Player)
1982-83: OHL - Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy (Leading Scorer)
1982-83: OHL - First All-Star Team

Accomplishments
1992-93: NHL - Nominated for Hart Trophy in 1993 (League MVP)
1992-93: NHL - Most points in one season (127), Toronto club record
1992-93: NHL - Most assists in one season (95), Toronto club record
1992-93: NHL - Most assists in one game (6), Toronto club record
1988-89: NHL - Two fastest shorthanded goals (scored 4 seconds apart) NHL record

He unlike those already shown in the blast to the pasts, had a supreme passion for the game that he made very evident to all. He would make it an obligation to go through hoops for the fans of the Leafs, and in doing so re-ignited the passionate flame the Leafs Franchise had been lacking for years previous.
Doug Gilmour #93, was #1 in Leafs Fans hearts on the Ice!
Thats your blast from the Past for this Week!
Don't forget that you can also see the MCC Blog to hear of the intense Foozeball action!

In the Summit series of 1972, a very memorable moment in history of Canada and Hockey Paul Henderson scored what would be the greatest goal of all-time against our nations rival the Soviets or otherwise known as the Russian republic.

Patrick Roy
He has been retired for a while, but when he retired he with good reason retired a man known as being great at the game. Possibly the Greatest?
He is a goaltender if any that a lot of goalies today(Dan Foreman) look to, in order to develop a solid style for playing goal.

Steve Yzerman Tribute is the Highlight of August 24th

2006-08-25T14:36:00.000-07:00

Last week I posted a note saying that from here on until Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner returns, I will post one video every Thursday in rememberance of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner. This week we have the tribute to true leadership, Steve Yzerman.

Steve Yzerman was born on May 9, 1965 in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. He played his minor hockey with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League and was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 1983 as their first round pick, fourth overall. Yzerman made his NHL debut as an eighteen year old in the 1983-84 season with the Red Wings. He finished with an impressive 39 goals and 48 assists for 87 points and was second in Calder tropphy voting. The following seasons saw Yzerman continue to build on his spectacular rookie season and in 1986 at age 21 he became the youngest captain in Detroit Red Wings history. This added pressure would probably hamper the performace of many athletes, but that was far from the case with Yzerman. Even as the Red Wings were at best a mediocre team, Steve put together a string of six consecutive 100+ point seasons, including an incredible 155 points notched in the 1988-89 regular season.

Starting in the early 1990s the Detroit Red Wings began to turn the corner and Yzerman was upto the task, providing much needed leadership. In 1997 he led the Red Wings to their first Stanley Cup championship since the 1955 season. Yzerman and the Red Wings added another Stanley Cup victory the very next season and he won the Conn Smythe trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs. The Wings dynasty would continue to dominate as they won their third Cup in 2002. Even though Yzerman missed most of the 2002 regular season with a knee injury, he returned for his 20th NHL season in 2003. Steve Yzerman has also represented Canada in the World Junior Championships, Canada Cups and the Olympics. After the 2004 lockout, Yzerman decided to come back with the Red Wings and announced his retirement at the end of the 2005-06 season.

Trophies
Conn Smythe Trophy - 1 (1989)
Lester B. Pearson Trophy - 1 (1998)
Frank J. Selke Trophy - 1 (2000)

Championships
Stanley Cup - 3 (1997, 1998, 2002)

He was truly no doubt in my mind a great of the game, a leader, and by leader I mean probably the greatest leader to ever lead a team on and off the ice. He is the longest reigning Captain in NHL History and he is retired.
God Bless! Steve Yzerman, the greatest Captain to ever play Hockey

Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner Finale de 3 Stars Pepsi....(A French person did not make this post)

2006-08-11T10:06:00.000-07:00

The Dianamic Duo of the Evening

Face of Fear
In English, Your Pepsi 3 Stars of the Game!

1. Adam Hanson 4 Games Played, 8(13)Goals,3(6)Assists, 11(19) Points

Adam played a hoopla! of a season and he has the honor of being picked as the final 1st star of the year, and he worked his way up quick, only playing a measily 4 games and posting some pretty big numbers. He pays assidious time playing and watching Hockey and you can tell. Assidious by the way is Dan's word of the Day for August 13th.

2. Christian Haines 11 Games Played, 2(10)Goals, 8(18) Assists
10(28)Points,0(38)Penalty Minutes

Well What can we say about Christian, enough said, last week I would say his leadership was evident in the game, but for tonight he not only was a star for his points, but also for his heart. I don't like to brag to much about his play, but tonight he dove twice and took a slapshot hitting Dan in the butt to help his team to a victory.

3. Dan Foreman 8 Games Played, 61(225) Saves, 6(23)

Dan on this night had stopped Murray Spencer the point leader at least 3 times blind in his tracks on this night. Also I remember one occasion when Christian and Darrell were up in the zone and they organized a triangle trap in the offensive zones and he stopped about 6 shots in a row there, keeping the ball from the inside webbing of the net. Altogether excellent night for both goalies, especially game two, but tonight it was either Murray or Dan for 3rd star and I think Dan cut the cheese.....or maybe not, maybe he takes the cheese, but no difference.

These were your Final Pepsi 3 Stars of the Game for the year 2006, so mark it now on your calendar May 2007 when Spiderman hits theatres and Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner hits the stage once again!

The New Face To Fear

2006-08-10T08:45:00.000-07:00

Better watch out tonight, cause there is a new face to fear. That's right, I found my old street hockey helmet with a cage held on by bus clips!!! These eyes will see every ball tonight!!!!

Now For Your Pepsi 3 Stars Of The Game

2006-08-06T09:11:00.000-07:00

The Mur-Man Matches the Hype Again!

This was probably the hardest night ever for picking the Pepsi 3 Stars. It seems like everyone was firing on all cylinders, and if they weren’t contributing Offensively they were definetly contributing defensively. I really wish that there was a point system to distribute points to a really defensive player, but if you were one of those blocking shocks on August. 3rd and you never got a star of the game, pat yourself on the back for me, you deserve it!
Now your Pepsi 3 Stars:

1. Murray Spencer 6 Games Played, 3(12) Goals, 6(21) Assists, 9(33) Points

2. Adam Hanson 2 Games Played, 5 Goals, 3 Assists, 8 Points

3. Brad Rogers 7 Games Played, 3(11) Goals, 5(15) Assists,
8(26) Points, 2(6) Penalty Minutes

You guys really, really, really made it difficult to put up this post this week. I am telling you though that if you have never been out to this, come out, you missed one intense evening on August 3rd 2006. Do I have an AMEN! It was extreme, it was non-stop action and everyone was playing for the fun, fellowship, and the win.
The younsters are promoted this week with their first victory, which was in Overtime and they are on the winning trail with the last win of the night. So now they have earned their Stars and are deserving of being called Young Stars. Although, just a challenge for next week to the Young Stars. With your win on Thursday night, the Old Stars run a record of 10-0-0-1 on the Summer, can you give them their first regulation loss?

At that I am going to name three honorary “Darrell” Unofficial “Stars” of the Game

1. Jordan Thomas 4 Games Played, 4(5) Goals, 2(3) Assists,
6(8) Points

Everyone will probably agree that if you can get the Overtime Winner in the first win for a young team and you block shots and stop at nothing to put the ball in the net, you deserve something here, and he got past the best defense on the Old Stars (Darrell Haines) Just kidding, but anywho, he is My first honorary pick.

2 & 3. Ashlee Albright & Dan Foreman

Ashlee Albright: 66 Saves, 16 Goals Allowed
Dan Foreman: 76 Saves, 8 Goals Allowed

Both goaltenders played their hearts out and are neck and neck for goaltender of the Summer, and I am telling you they both have put their best into helping their teams out. In Game one Ashlee Albright was shelled with an intense amount of shots and had what seemed to be no defense at all from the Youngsters. Although the YoungStars decided to show up in Game 2, although Dan Foreman in Game 2 was shelled with shots, but the defense was there helping clear the ball at most occasions, taking us to the second Overtime of the Summer.

Forever Young!!!

2006-08-04T16:55:00.000-07:00

Dan and Christian Shaking on a Deal

Foreman Feeling Forever Young!

Dan Foreman an newly wed, growing up here in the Burtt’s Corner community and astonishing crowds everywhere Thursday evening at Hockey Night In Burtt’s Corner.
This was a big night for Foreman, as he not only led the 1-9 YoungStars to their first victory in an Overtime Victory, but he also pulled through with a great evening, improving all of his stats, and helping in accomplishing what seemed to be impossible.

76(164) Saves, 8(17) Goals Against, 6 Games Played, 5 wins, 1 loss

Dan Foreman seems to be one of those goalies that both teams have looked to for victories along side. But with about 2 weeks of Hockey Night In Burtt’s Corner left with August 13th being a week off, will Dan be able to handle the hype and continue his success behind the pipes. Big things happening at the Corner, but who will Dan sign with in the weeks ahead?

Why Is Today Special?

2006-08-02T10:20:00.000-07:00

Why is Today Special?

Well if you know the answer to why today is special, then I guess I don't need to tell you. But if you are unaware or lost walking off into the woods in some distant far off area, then I guess I will tell you, but you will have to find your own way out of the woods.

Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner So Far......

2006-07-31T14:13:00.000-07:00

What Will They DO?

Youngsters stiring up the player pools, searching for a Win!

2006-07-30T12:43:00.000-07:00

To what levels must the Youngsters stoop for victory

The Youngsters want any young talent, check out the catchy Poster

Latest efforts of negotiations could see the Thug of Thugonomics, Alex "Rough you up bad" Roy dawning the youngsters jersey. Will he generate a power making the youngsters youngstars?

The youngsters who have slowly watched themselves drop five straight in close games, look to generate some talk. On Sunday, July 30th 2006 they negotiated terms on contract with Alex Roy. The question is will they get him for Thursday night Hockey Night in Burtt's Corner. What other surprises are coming this Thursday?

Come on out and see for yourself, I see a couple surprises gracing their presences this Thursday. See you There!
Can the youngsters win?

Things Heating up do to a Topic Of Debate on Coaches Corner!

2006-07-28T13:34:00.000-07:00

Things beginning to Heat up at Coaches Corner

Is the Referee the debate? or is it the youngsters team?

Whats the talk?

The topic of Debate on coaches corner this week was referee calls. I see no problem personally with our ref or the reffing system, but Don Cherry (Christian Haines) seems to have a bone or two to pick.
First topic was a disallowed goal from two weeks ago where there was a whistle at the same time as a goal. The penalty call, one that was delayed on the youngsters team, and due to the disallowed goal, the youngsters lost 5-3 to the Old Guys. Don’s(Christian’s) remarks were that this “bogus bad call, ruined our momentum and thats why we lost”. Then he skipped to another instance of a disallowed goal.
He talks about the evening of this Coaches Corner, and he tells us about the goal that Christian scored....while he was still serving a penalty that him and Murray both had called on them. As a result he was placed in the box for 2 minutes. Now note that the debate was because Christian left the box Early and never served his full time. While he was on the floor illegally he scored then was placed back in the box for 5 minutes for delay of game and not serving his full time, and his team lost in Overtime.
I don’t know but the Coach has a lot of mouth, I kind of wonder about him sometimes. But just something to put out there for the Coach for next week.

Team Penalties are: 49 Penalty Minutes for the youngsters (All Called On Christian and Lucas) 52 Penalty Minutes for the Old Stars

I don’t know but I think the Coaches next topic should be how Christian and Lucas should stop being like Jack- In-Da- Boxes!!! Burn....I think, Yesssss! Cya Next week...
And Remember kids:
“If the women don’t find you handsome they’ll at least find you handy!!!”

The Foreman of this crew leads effort and beats the competition!

2006-07-28T13:24:00.000-07:00

Foreman Has Crowd Member Erin Douthwright Shocked as a result of his Game!

Foreman shuts Down the Game

Making 82 Saves in the night alone and with Foremans Defense making two defensive stops along with two Defensive Giveaways. Foremans shocks the Crowd!!! posting back-to-back wins on the evening allowing only 3 Goals. Amazing performance.
Because of the amazing goaltending, and play of the old timers in the last 5 games, the old timers are on a five game winning streak. I encourage the youngsters to get some recruiting done, because at the pace the oldies are going it don’t look like anything is going to break(accept our backs) and the only team that may be cause to injury is the youngsters as their leading scorer Christian Haines twisted his ankle last game.
Bring a friend, look forward to August 3rd/2006 when we next meet, see you then!

The MOST Intense Hockey Night YET!!!!

2006-07-28T12:32:00.001-07:00

Here Are Your Burtt's Corner Church of Christ
Pepsi 3 Stars Of the Week

1. Dan Foreman GP 2 (4), Saves 84(113), Goals Allowed 3 (9), 3 Wins, 1 Loss

This is the first time that a goaltender has gotten 1st Star. Let me explain, he deserved this with good reason, taking this to overtime, bailing them out several times and the old guys were lucky to have him in goal on this night. A couple times I wondered though if his defense should be in goal, as Darrell made 2 goal line saves for him. I guess that cancels out with the two giveaways, and one of those two went by...sorry Dan (from Darrell). But well done on this night For Dan “web-slinger” Foreman. It seemed like every shot taken was in the webbing of his glove.

2. Murray Spencer GP 2(4), 3(9) Goals, 6 (15) Assists, 9 (24) Points,
4 Penalty Minutes

Murray played and sweat like a Old Man!!!, but we all know he is young at heart. Murray’s Birthday is Tuesday I believe, the big 31.....The Mur-Man definetly made hype in his return game. He played some good hockey, but a challenge to him next week is to make 31 points in honor of his young age.

3. Brad Rogers GP 2(5), 5(9) Goals, 3(10) Assists, 8(19) Points,
0 (4) Penalty Minutes

Brad with NO Penalty Minutes, but still the same he took a beating receiving 3 welts from shots to the back with the ball, all in one play. This is true hockey. When you can take a hit, or a shot in the back for your team, and love it! That is called heart, and Brad plays with lots of heart.
Brad was clearly deserving of mention and in his two weeks playing he is now 2 for 2 on the Pepsi Star of the week list.
Keep It Up!!!

A Goalie's Showdown

2006-07-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

I will leave it to Darrell to give you all the specifics of Thursday night but I will tell you this, it was a Goalie's showdown! In game one Ashlee and I went toe to toe and what a battle! (once again I will leave the results to Darrell!) Same with game two with Mackenzie coming on in the third period! Anyway here are some pictures, enjoy!

Tough GUY!!!! or Sleepy Head!!!

2006-07-27T10:43:00.000-07:00

Born June 28th of 1991, this boy was born a pure Haines. He is a tough guy, but unlike some Haines' he has Hockey games when he is a tough guy!! unstoppable and he has those times like last week where he posts low numbers "a sleepy head".
High hopes going into the season for Christian Haines, posting 4 goals, 8 assists in his opening night.
Will Christian get back on his Game tonight at Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner.
Last week Christian was at a low of 1 goal on the night, but he brought his penalty minutes to the high of 27 minutes.
Will Christian continue to live up to his name of "Jack in the Box" given to him by Graham Crandall. Can Christian lead in more then the Penalty Minutes.
I guess we will find out, bring a friend, come watch or play!
and ask, Is Christian a Tough Guy!!! or Sleepy Head?

The Hype is Here!!!!!

2006-07-26T13:47:00.000-07:00

After Missing out on last weeks hockey action, we anticipate the return of all-star scorer Murray Spencer to the line- up!, the question is will the hype add up or will we be let down.
Murray is currently standing with 2 Games played on the season and in those two games he had: 6 Goals, 9 Assists, 15 Points and stayed out of the box!
With Murray's 9 Assists in his 2 games playing he is tied in a neck and neck battle with the leagues leading point man and goal scorer Graham Crandall.

Murray Hope your Ready for the Hype!!!!

3 Stars of Week 2, July 20th/2006

2006-07-26T13:17:00.000-07:00

Gilles winding up for the big Slap shot!!!!

The Dianamic duo of the Old Stars, is it Mario and Crosby?....no WAY!

Out of the Two Weeks of Hockey that we have already enjoyed at the KVMS ARENA, I must say that this week, July.20th/2006, was the hardest hitting one.
It to many seemed uneven but in all games this week the Old Guys Rose up in Triumph over the young. 3-0.
They truly worked as a team on this night and that is why I am proud to present you with your Burtt's Corner Church of Christ Hockey Pepsi Stars of the Week!

1. Brad Rogers 4 Goals, 7 Assists, 11 Points, 4 Penalty Minutes

Brad is a rookie at this, jumping in and playing 3 hard shooting gritty games in his first outing, and we are looking foward to seeing what more he has to bring to the table tomarrow night.

2. Gilles G 5 Goals, 5 Assists, 10 Points, 2 Penalty Minutes

Gilles is our custodian and he makes sure that things are happening where they should be both on and off the floor, because he cleans up trash both on and off the floor(Christian Haines) and boy did this guy keep the young stars scorer off the board with his defensive/offensive drive. The amazing thing is that this was Gilles first night and he was Awesome, Keep It Up Gilles!

3. Graham Crandall 5(16) Goals, 5(9) Assists, 10(25) Points
10(19) Penalty Minutes

Then We have Graham Crandall, the leading league goal scorer and point man. This guy is unstoppable. He is like Gordie Howe, he is a all around goal scorer, he has scored on probably about 90% of the shots he has taken, and he is crazy out there. Not to mention the tough guy of the Old Stars to, and that probably makes him the best on the team or any team at the two week mark.

Looking forward to what tomarrow holds and we can still hold more players if anyone is interested, so remember to just show up with your best game and play hard. $5.00 a night to be a player, and $2.50 per goalie. The Fellowship is great and if we all contribute, I guarantee it will be a load of fun.
May all we do be Pleasing to God, see you tomarrow night!
July. 27th 2006 at the same time 6:00pm- 8:00pm

GO HABS GO!!

2006-07-20T09:50:00.000-07:00


Here is some real Hockey to inspire you for tonight!!!

Coaches Corner July 13th 2006

2006-07-16T17:59:00.000-07:00

There were lots of Festivities at the first addition of Thursday Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner. One Festivity we were proud to have taking place was Coaches Corner.
Starring our Host Don Cherry AKA "Christian Haines" and his quietly well played companion Ron Maclean played by "Jacob Ebbett".
The Topics of discussion on this night were such as upcoming, uprising Stars...Like Lucas Brown.
Along with much discussion on why Christian was above the law in the sense he never felt he was deserving of any penalties at all. It was a very well rounded time, and we really got to hear about what to look for in a game at the KVMS Arena on a Thursday night of Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner.
As Don Cherry would say "Remember Kids never Check from behind, its not cool" and as I would say, man this kid is Crazy! AMEN!....

July 13th/2006 was a SUCCESS!!.. Here are our BCCOC 3 Hockey All-Stars

2006-07-16T16:47:00.000-07:00

To those who were'nt picked as the evening All-Stars, your day will definetly come with lots of Hockey left in the Summer.
Our Stand out players or Burtt's Corner Church Of Christ All-Stars for week 1 are:

1. Murray Spencer 6 Goals, 9 Assists, 15 Points

2. Graham Crandall 11 Goals, 4 Assists, 15 Points, 5 Penalty Minutes

3. Christian Haines 4 Goals, 7 Assists, 11 Points, 18 Penalty Minutes

Again if you were'nt a Star this week, maybe next week your name will be up for a Star of the Game. There is a special 4th Star for tonight only, and mostly for the simple reason that Her outstanding Goaltending made the Game a whole Lot more Fun for Game Two.
Star # 4:

4.Ashlee Albright 12 Saves, 6 Goals Allowed, 2.00 Goals Against Average

The First Ever Hockey Night In Burtt's Corner Was A BIG! Success

2006-07-15T18:21:00.000-07:00

July 13th, 2006 The First Ever Hockey Night in Burtt's Corner. On this post I want to thank all who participated in the First Hockey Night in Burtt's Corner.
We had a lot of people out for the first evening and it would be great to see many more new faces in the meetings ahead.
We will be meeting every Thursday from 6:oo to 8:00 and continuing throughout the summer. The cost for those interested is $5.00 a person and we would love to have any new people out.
There were 13 people out on the first Thursday and in organizing this sports ministry I hope to see us fill up the place to its limits.
I am one who has strong belief that you can worship God in many numerous and wonderous ways and I believe you can please God by having fellowship together in Sport too.

Acts 2:42-47

42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

This was the first recorded meeting of the Christians and here we read of them coming together worshipping God through Prayer, the breaking of the bread, and also the giving of gifts. It is my belief that God finds it pleasing and as an act of Praise to Him for us as His people to interact in the same way, even so having our Fellowship through sports.
We our a very different generation of people and I think that as we see the first century Christians worshipping God in this way, we to can worship God in Fellowship of Sports under His name.
God has Blessed us Much!
I Pray He Continues to Bless this ministry in our Community, come on out We would love to have you.
