After being passed over in the Draft, Burrows found an opportunity in the East Coast Hockey League, splitting the 2002-03 season with the Greenville Grrrowl and Baton Rouge Kingfish, two franchises that no longer exist.
A breakout season with the Columbia Inferno in 2003-04 eventually landed him a spot with the AHL Manitoba Moose before the Canucks came calling in 2006. Five years later, Burrows is two wins away from becoming one of the NHL's unlikeliest Stanley Cup heroes.
Not bad for a guy no one wanted on Draft Day. :deal: |
