Brian Burke decorated by the Canadian Forces

here is the official release (appoligised for all caps, that's how we do business) CF MEDALLION FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE MR. B. BURKE - FOR EXCEPTIONAL SUPPORT TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CAF AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT IN THE LUKE S TROOPS INITIATIVE AS PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER OF THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS, 2008 TO 2013 CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) LUKE S (you know the guy that got traded lol)

Good for him ! Didn't know that about the guy.

 

side note,

 

 

Funny how the Leafs team he was building is doing pretty good these days eh, all they needed was a little more time to come around and a good coach {which they now have in Carlyle}. All they need now is a "veteran" goalie to take them to the next level. Too bad Rask is doing awesome in Boston while Raycroft is probably playing beer league somewhere.

 

Burke always had good hockey savvy IMO.

yep burke was the reason why Lord Stanley visited Afghanistan so often (as well as the alumni and the traditional ball hockey games between the legends and the troops)
