Seeing Gatlin Burt still allowed to play in the WOAA after he plead guilty to domestic assault and is a convicted criminal makes the league look really good. What a fucking joke. I was one happy fan knowing that menace was finally out of the league (especially after physically assaulting his ex girlfriend) but catching wind of Him now playing for ripley and hearing that the WOAA is fully aware of his conviction and is ALLOWING him to play is an absolute embarrassment. The 8 members of the executive who helped the president make this decision must have no morals or daughters or nieces for that matter. Any amateur or professional league holds ALL players accountable for their actions and has strong policies against allowing convicted criminals in playing- so does the WOAA. It’s on their website for fuck sakes. But let’s once again turn a blind eye to burt’s relentless and psychotic behaviour that never ends and this one being a criminal offence, lets just keep enabling the guy and letting him have no repercussions. How many more players or women have to be assaulted for the league to actually follow through and stand behind their own fucking policies and rules? Is domestic violence not serious enough to support the fact he shouldn’t be allowed to play? What’s the point of policies and laws and procedures just wondering and seeking some clarification since he’s now playing for ripley yet the website states people with convictions will NOT be playing in the WOAA? I guess we’ll just sit patiently for the next person to get hurt now that he’s back- well done WOAA and ripley wolves for being stupid enough to sign him - well done.

it's an absolute embarrassment all around. that the league continues to turn a blind eye to this lunatic. fights fans, destroys dressing rooms, does what he did off the ice.
but ripley chose to bring him back. that's worse in my eye. that was, by all accounts, a class organization who did things right and always brought in good people. but they have pissed that all away now. they have put winning above all else and it's a deal with the devil. used to like going to their games and watching in their little barn, but they won't get a nickel of my money ever again.
gatlin will go psycho again. he'll get suspended, he'll do something idiotic like he always does. kind of funny that ripley used to lead the charge to get him out of the league and now i guess they'll be defending him?

Oh snap ! Dec 21st Wolves vs Thundercats and Jan 10th mark that shit on your calendar. Maybe worth the price of admission I would bet the game in Dirty Durham will be a all out war LOL. If he is really playing ? Burt vs Nixon better have a bunch of ref's for that one.

I can’t speak for the kid’s personal life, biut it seems like your an expert so I’m assuming you know him personally. Before you jump on your moral pedestal let’s make sure to remember a couple years ago, who signed and paid a complete goon to play? Alex Penner who played every game high or drunk or high on coke while everyone on the team knew it. I’ve heard the story from the players. I forgot the winterhawks were angels
