Anyone who is a fan of a Northwest Division team knows how Alex Burrows of Vancouver plays. He's not the biggest player on the Canucks, but he's intense, physical, and one of those players who's not afraid of anything on the ice.He's also the kind of guy who will drive opponents absolutely crazy, because he refuses to give up on a play, and he loves getting in the goalie's face. According to a published report, Burrows is under investigation for allegedly taking that intensity a little bit too far in a summer game.
During a summer hockey game in Montreal, Burrows allegedly got mixed up with a goalie.
According to a report on RDS.ca, an investigation is underway in response to a complaint filed on July 21 that states Burrows violently struck the face of a goaltender with his stick during a game at the Excellent Ice Arena in Kirkland, Que.Burrows' agent isn't sure how this will play out.
Burrows' agent, Paul Corbeil, said police were called to the arena after the alleged incident, but no arrests were made.The summer league Burrows was taking part in includes professional and amateur players.
Asked by the Vancouver Sun if he was worried about the possibility of charges being laid, Corbeil said: "We need to be serious with that possibility, but there are no charges right now. We'll see.
"I think everything will be okay. I think so, but you never know."
