Saturday July 5th vs. Brooklin Redmen (9-7 Loss)

Thursday July 3rd 8pm vs. Six Nations Chiefs (7-4 Loss)

The Brampton Excelsiors hosted the Six Nations Chiefs on Thursday night at Powerade.  The young Excelsior had their work cut out for them facing a larger and more experienced Chiefs squad, who were without Colin Doyle.  Six Nations got out to an early lead on two quick goals in the first 4 minutes.  Brampton was able to tighten things up and Matt Holman scored mid-period to make it 2-1.  A late goal by former Excelsior Jeff Shattler gave the Chiefs a 3-1 edge at the end of the first.

The game stayed close.  Brady Heseltine scored midway into the 2nd to cut the lead to 3-2, however that would be as close as it got, as the Chiefs scored 2 more to make it 5-2 at the end of the second.

Chris Corbeil and Dustin Carvalho each scored in the 3rd to match the pair of Chief’s goals, however it wasn’t enough.  Chiefs won 7-4.  The young Excels are looking much better in recent games, and have a chance to grab the final playoff spot if they can put together some wins against Kitchener and Oakville in upcoming games.

GOOD LUCK KYLE

Kyle Rubisch leaves shortly to go to the World Championships in Denver, Colorado.   We all wish Kyle the best of luck!

Wednesday July 2nd at Brooklin Redmen (11-4 Loss)

Brampton Excelsiors played Wednesday night in Brooklin losing 11-4.  The Excels will need to put some sort of winning streak together to try to finish ahead of Oakville and Kitchener in the standings.  Two difficult games in a row against the first place Redmen and second place Chiefs on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  It would be a great accomplishment if the team can pick up a couple of points in tonight’s game.

Thursday June 26th vs. Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks (10-8 Win)
Saturday June 14th at Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks (11-7 Loss)
Thursday June 12th vs. Six Nations Chiefs (9-6 Loss)
Saturday June 7th at Six Nations Chiefs (10-7 Loss)
Wednesday June 4th at Brooklin Redmen (11-7 Loss)
Thursday May 29th at Peterborough Lakers (11-4 Loss) *Win By Default*

George “Potsy” Burrows

George was born in Toronto on June 13, 1918. He began playing lacrosse in Brampton in 1926 at the age of 8. He played field lacrosse for 6 years before switching over to box in 1932. George was a goaltender and played until the fall of 1936 for various Brampton teams.

He played junior and senior lacrosse for Brampton from 1937-41 playing home games at the newly built outdoor facility called the “Rose Bowl”.

World War ll interrupted his lacrosse playing career when he joined the Air Force in 1941. After the war George returned to Brampton in 1946 and continued his involvement in lacrosse helping Jim Clevely and Bill Evans start up the Lakeshore Minor Lacrosse League. He played one more year for the Senior Excelsiors in 1947 and established himself as a well-known OLA referee from 1945-65.

“Potsy” has also made significant contributions to community life in Brampton including:

• Royal Canadian Legion’s 50 and 75 year medal and life membership
• Brampton Citizen of the Year award
• Canada’s 125 Anniversary Medal
• Queen’s Jubilee Medal
• BELC Life Member
• OLA Hall of Fame
• Brampton’s Sports Hall of Fame

Today, George is still active in community affairs and an Excelsior fan.

Happy 96^th Birthday “Potsy” from your Excelsior Family.
