Burnaby dairy company wins this round By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A dairy company has won the latest round in a court battle with the B.C. Milk Marketing Board over “bad milk” delivered to its Burnaby plant. Saputo Products Canada was shipped two batches of contaminated milk, accord-

ing to a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling last Wednesday. In August 2013, the Burnaby plant got a shipment of milk, later discovered to be contaminated, from Chilliwack Cattle Sales Ltd. Assuming the milk was good, Saputo put the milk into production. “Saputo blended the

contaminated milk with uncontaminated milk, which caused a total of 223,230 litres of milk and cream to be contaminated, which, in turn, caused damage to 111,921.12 litres of packaged product, allegedly causing damage to Saputo totalling $65,317.57,” states the ruling.

As per the regulations around milk marketing in B.C., Saputo had paid for the milk shortly after getting it. The company requested the milk marketing board reimburse it for the alleged damages, but the board refused, so Saputo withheld payment for a later shipment.

A similar incident happened in February 2015, when Saputo received shipment of organic milk at its Burnaby and Abbotsford plants from Cedarwal Farms Ltd. in Abbotsford. After the shipment was co-mingled with milk already stored in silos at each plant, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency told Sa-

puto it was conducting a safety inspection of the milk produced at Cedarwal because the dairy cattle’s organic feed contained aflatoxin in amounts above permissible levels, according to court documents. While the inspection found the milk in question Continued on page 5

that has brought UniverCity residents together due to fears about what it will mean for the area. The second topic is the white elephant in the room – snow. I know all of Metro Vancouver got hit hard this past winter, but I swear not as hard as Burnaby Mountain.We were buried in it. When other areas had their snow melt away, UniverCity got even more.

Nothing brings UniverCity residents together quite like the snow, whether it’s people standing at the bottom of our road pushing vehicles up the hill, or those few heroes who offer free downhill rides to students and workers who are stranded when the buses inevitably get cancelled.There’s nothing sadder than seeing a long line of figures trudging down Gaglardi Way in the dark because the roads got too slick. Sure, the snow sucks, but it also makes the views that much

more stunning and the area that much quieter. In two months, we’ll celebrate our one-year anniversary at UniverCity, but it feels like we’ve been here for years. Chris Campbell is a journalist and a keen observer of the human condition.You

City now JUSTICE

A 12-year campaign may have an end in sight George Sojka has been fighting to have the law changed since he lost his sister in a car accident in 2005

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The federal Liberals are considering a Burnaby man’s wish to have the Criminal Code amended. For more than a decade, George Sojka has been petitioning the government to change the law when it comes to obtaining a warrant to get a blood sample. Sojka’s sister, Helen Sonja Francis, died in a car accident on Feb. 28, 2005, after the car she was in crashed near Houston, B.C.The driver, an ex-boyfriend, was allegedly impaired at the time. The courts, however,

deemed the incriminating evidence inadmissible because the warrant to obtain a blood sample was faulty. It was granted 13 minutes after the Criminal Code’s four-hour deadline. (In order for investigators to get a blood sample, a warrant must be obtained within four hours after an accident occurs.) Sojka has since been advocating to get the warrant deadline extended to six hours. Kennedy Stewart, MP for Burnaby South, has presented Helen’s Law in the House of Commons a number of times, but it has never passed.

Recently, Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould notified Sojka that his amendment has been grouped in with Bill C-46, a host of Criminal Code amendments related to impaired driving. (If passed, Bill C-46 would allow police to take a roadside breath sample without evidence that the driver is under the influence.) The justice minister also informed Sojka the warrant deadline being considered is eight hours, not six. The bill will be debated in committee as early as this fall, at which point it will then return to the House of Commons for an-

other vote, and if passed, to the Senate. “I feel quite elated considering the fact I’ve put in more than 10 years of working on this,” Sojka told the NOW. “It’s a bittersweet victory because a life is still gone that can no longer come back.” He added he was “very surprised” the deadline was extended beyond the six hours. Bill C-46 still has a long way to go before becoming law, according to Stewart. He said it’s tough to know how things will play out. “It could be unanimously adopted in the house and the committee may

not change it, and it goes to the Senate, and then the Conservative senators decide they don’t want this, or they want to split it into two bills,” the MP explained. “So we don’t know what’s going to happen there.” If all goes according to plan, Sojka’s Criminal Code amendment wouldn’t be known as Helen’s Law since it’s part of a bigger bill.While that does bother him, he remains hopeful that something positive will come from his sister’s death. “It’s unfortunate, but you know what, the bottom line is Helen has been recog-

nized in all of this, the case has been presented to Parliament and something’s being done,” he said.

The company claims the incident cost it $26,303.64

Continued from page 1 didn’t present any risk to human health, Saputo maintains the safety alert and the shelf life of certain affected products meant it couldn’t market products with the

milk. The company claims the incident cost it $26,303.64, and it once again withheld payment for a future shipment to offset the damages.

In June 2015, the marketing board petitioned the B.C. Supreme Court to order Saputo to pay up with interest and to abide by the regulations. An application by Saputo to

have the marketing board’s petition converted into an action that would go to trial was rejected by the B.C. Supreme Court a year ago but upheld in a B.C. Court of Appeal decision last week.

Among other things, going to trial means Saputo could go after third parties (Chilliwack Cattle Sales and Cedarwal) to recoup its losses if it loses the case to the marketing board.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Voters just want gov’t to ﬁx things Let’s be clear.There will be no honeymoon period for the new NDP-Green party coalition government. If you thought Christy Clark had a wrench factory when she was struggling to find ways to hang on to power, she now has two free arms to throw even more wrenches into the mix. We can’t even imagine what tricks she’ll have up her sleeves during the next

couple of months. But that may be the lesser of the new government’s challenges. People wanted change. It was not just a political slogan during this last election. But change is a lot easier to promise than to deliver. John Horgan and Andrew Weaver supporters will pretty much expect miracles on housing, transit and the environment.

The good news is that if what Clark said was true in her final days of clinging to power – that somehow the government’s books were about $2 billion better to the black than expected – then Horgan and Weaver can start throwing cash around for pet projects pretty darn quickly. But they’ll also have to appear prudent with taxpayer money, because even though Clark was prom-

ising she would have put in almost all of the NDP’s policies before losing her premiership, you can bet she’ll be back to singing from the old Liberal songbook soon ‘those NDPers – can’t trust them with money.’ So it will be important for the new government to avoid taking the bait and keeping its eye on keeping its promises made to voters. And please remember,

dear leaders, most voters don’t care what your ideology is. Most voters just want an honest government that doesn’t place its friends and donors first. A government that sees policies as a way to improve everybody’s standard of living, not a way to widen the gap between the haves and have nots. Most voters don’t care how you fix things, they just want things fixed.

And they really don’t want to listen to politicians fighting. It may be exciting for political wonks and party faithful or lobbyists who are keeping score, but the average taxpayer would rather see a well-managed compassionate province that isn’t based on a ‘winner-take-all’ game. It’s probably a ‘fantasy government,’ but it doesn’t hurt to hope for a better B.C., does it?

MY VIEW LES LEYNE

Clark is not a portrait of losing gracefully Premier Christy Clark had a demanding role to play over the last several weeks. She had to portray a scrappy, determined leader fighting a losing battle, then pivot to losing gracefully with honour. She nailed the first part, until she started overplaying it. But she missed most of her marks on the second. Just before 9 p.m. last Thursday night in the dusky rose garden outside her office, after her fate had been sealed by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, she saw a small gaggle of reporters and knew something was required of her. So she made a brief appearance to offer sincere congratulations to B.C. NDP leader John Horgan and B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver. It was the first graceful move she’s made in weeks. She’d just been challenged in unprecedented fashion by the lieutenantgovernor on the dicey position she’d taken a day earlier. She’d served notice that she would go to Government House after losing the confidence vote and inform the LG, but not offer any advice on what to do about it.Then, “if asked,” she would observe that an election was the only way out of this mess.That would have allowed her to avoid handing over power to the NDP and not take responsibility for an election that she herself has said no one wants.

It put the lieutenant-governor in the bind of having to either ignore the NDP-Green majority in the house, by calling an election, or ignore her first minister’s game-playing. Clark herself confirmed in the rose garden that Guichon put an end to the game. “When it became clear that I needed to ask for dissolution, which she made very clear, that I only had two choices. I did ask for dissolution ... She’s chosen a different path.” Clark’s (impending) resignation was on the table by then as well, so it was accepted.That’s likely why she looked a bit shaky coming out of Government House. She’d just had her alibi pulled out from under her. That little manoeuvre was preceded by the absurd introduction of two bills designed to lure the Greens away from a pact they’d signed with the NDP just three weeks earlier. One gave the Greens party status, but was dropped without them knowing anything about it. Like that would ever work. The other was 29 pages of campaign finance reform ideas cribbed almost word for word from the NDP and Green campaign platforms, all of which has been ignored by the cashhungry Liberals for years. No only that, they wanted passage in one day of a bill that needed weeks of Continued on page 7

Jeweler, robbers exchange fire A pair of shotgun-toting robbers messed with the wrong jeweler in March.The two entered Trio Diamond and Gold Jewellers at 4669 Kingsway armed with a shotgun and knife and ordered patrons to get on the floor. They fled after looting the display cases, but the store’s owner – a former auxiliary Vancouver cop – pulled out a gun, stepped outside and exchanged about five shots with the robbers as they drove off. One of the jeweler’s shots blew out their rear window, but the robbers did get away.

MLAs avoid responding to mayor’s comments Mayor says ‘realities of the marketplace’ means low-rent apartments will be replaced by valuable condos By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

With housing affordability top of mind for many Metro Vancouverites, some of Burnaby’s NDP MLAs refused to respond directly to comments Mayor Derek Corrigan made last week about renovictions and demovictions. At a public art unveiling in Metrotown on June 28, Corrigan said higher densities are needed in order to accommodate the thousands of people moving into the region each year, even if that means displacing renters. He said the land closest to SkyTrain is the most valuable in the city. When developers build along those corridors, they pay into the density bonus program, which allows the city to buy land in other parts of Burnaby and offer it to non-profit organizations. Corrigan said it’s important to use the valuable land to generate

funds, and hopefully with more provincial and federal dollars, create more non-market housing units. Metrotown has been front and centre in the demovictions issue. The Metrotown development plan update, which seeks to create “a true downtown,” is expected to go before council this month, but critics like Alliance Against Displacement have argued it will displace up to 6,000 low-income renters. Corrigan said: “In this neighbourhood, we found that there is a significant number of people who feel they shouldn’t have to move out of this area, that we should retain it as it is.That, unfortunately, is just not the solution. If we’re going to look at utilizing our transit system properly, we have to increase density around it and give more people the opportunity to live close to transit.” He added: “Nobody likes to have to move out of an area because they can’t af-

ford it. I appreciate that as anyone else does, but the reality is most of these rents have been artificially held down as the result of these buildings being ready for change.Those are the realities.We live in a marketbased capitalist system.We have to appreciate those are the realities of the marketplace and the realities of property.” When asked what she thought of Corrigan’s comments, Burnaby North NDP MLA Janet Routledge chose not to comment on the Metrotown issue. (City council is made up entirely of members of the Burnaby Citizens Association, an NDP-affiliated civic party.) “Wednesday I was in Victoria in the legislature and that’s what I was concentrating on. I’m not in a position at this point to comment on what the mayor said.” Instead, she told the NOW the New Democrats

plan to make life more affordable for British Columbians, including giving renters a yearly $400 rebate, fixing loopholes in the Residential Tenancy Act and building 114,000 new rental, social and coop housing units across the province. Raj Chouhan, longtime NDP MLA for BurnabyEdmonds, didn’t speak specifically to Metrotown, but said B.C. doesn’t have enough affordable housing. “Our government will be working very closely with the municipalities, utilizing the government’s land to build more affordable housing,” he said. “We’ll make sure nobody is left behind.” Chouhan, who said it’s too early to say if he’ll be tapped for a cabinet position, added all three levels of government need to work together to build up the housing supply. “We need everybody to participate in that,” he

said. Anne Kang, NDP MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake and former Burnaby city councillor, agreed and said her team will be “hitting the ground running.” “We are going to be making sure there is affordability for all British Columbians and not just the top two per cent,” she said. “I have absolute faith that John Horgan will be a

champion in this.” Katrina Chen, NDP MLA for BurnabyLougheed, did not reply to a request for comment by press deadlines. Last Thursday, Lt.Gov. Judith Guichon announced she asked B.C. NDP leader John Horgan to form government, shortly after Premier Christy Clark lost the nonconfidence vote.

Paint off matches 18 artistic adversaries Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Paint will fly and brushes will creatively caress canvas as 18 artistic adversaries compete in a colourful competition at the Deer Lake Gallery July 8. It’s the second annual Parks Edge Paint Off being held in conjunction with the third annual Summer Arts Festival at the gallery’s picturesque property (6584 Deer Lake Ave.). “It was amazing,” said Burnaby Arts Council executive director Teena Martin of the first paint off. “It was extremely popular. I had artists contact me well in advance to see if we were doing it again.” Martin sought out a couple of quality competitors to add to this year’s lineup. “I’m quite happy.” The artists compete in the gallery’s backyard and have two hours (1 to 3 p.m.) to produce a work on a blank canvas provided by the gallery.This year, the work must be based on the theme of diversity. While they may not be jocks, the artists can be quite competitive. “Last year, I’m not sure if you’ve ever tried herding cats, but that’s like herding artists,” said Martin. The artists will compete for $500 in prize money

provided by Tourism Burnaby and other prize packs. The winners will be determined by the people’s choice method, meaning the spectacle’s spectators get to vote for their favourite works. Then, if they want, they can buy the competitors’ finished products via a silent auction.The proceeds are split between the gallery and the artist. Martin said it’s a wonderful way to pick up excellent work from quality artists for an inexpensive price. “It’s a cool way to be able to see them do the art, but also say, ‘I saw them paint this and I bought it,’ ” she said. The inaugural winner, Bill Higginson, was unavailable for this year’s event but second-place finisher Kristina Kosolova will be back.

It will have a diverse display of entertainment (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and an artisans’ market where artists will have original works for sale.

Arts. “Burnaby is huge.Trying to engage four different areas – you’ve got Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds – it’s a large area.We don’t struggle bringing people in; it’s just trying to offer a wide range of cultural activities to the community,” said Martin.

SUMMER ARTS FEST WHAT’S UP? The Burnaby Arts Council is presenting its third annual Deer Lake Summer Arts Festival on Saturday, July 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’s at Deer Lake Gallery, 6584 Deer Lake Ave. WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? The festival is a daylong celebration of the arts, with an artisans’ market featuring the work of glass blowers, sculptors, potters, fashion and jewelry designers and more. Live entertainment by the Coastal Wolf Pack Salish song and dance group, and by singer-songwriter Carolyn Neapole, is also on the program. Plus, the festival includes a performance by the arts council’s summer theatre troupe, a workshop for kids, food and a live art competition, the Park’s Edge Paint Off. WHO’S IT FOR? Everyone. Kids will enjoy getting their hands dirty during an art workshop and taking in an interactive performance by Burnaby Summer Theatre (the shows are always kid-friendly and involve plenty of audience dancing, singing and moving around). Art lovers and painters can take in the fun of the Park’s Edge Paint Off – and enjoy the kick-off of the arts council’s new exhibition, DiverCity, which will feature the works of artists competing in the paint off. Shoppers can browse the many high-quality,

handmade selections at the artisans’ market (who knows, you might even get some early Christmas shopping done!). And everyone can enjoy wandering around in the gallery’s beautiful setting at the edge of Deer Lake Park. It’s a win-win all around.

It has come to represent so many different things over the course of its years, associated with values like independence, environmentalism and athleticism. This month, Burnaby Heights highlights the bicycle with some key events for cyclists and cycling fans of all types. Burnaby Heights brings out its Italian side with the Giro di Burnaby cycling race on Thursday, July 13. Named after the esteemed Giro d’Italia, this high-speed cycling race is part of B.C. Superweek, a tour of nine professional cycling races across the Lower Mainland. While other Superweek races take inspiration from the French Grand Prix and the Tour de France, the Heights’ rich Italian cultural presence made the Giro a natural jt. Merchants of the Heights are bringing out specialty Giro-themed goods and opening outdoor dining areas for this one-night-only event. With over 200 racers hailing from countries around the world, the night is sure to be full of excitement.

Why is everyone racing in a tight bunch?

Riders are able to go faster and save energy by drafting one another, benejting from a similar kind of pull that Nascar racers get by drafting each other. When the cyclists are stretched out, means that the racers at

the front of the pack are really going fast and the rest of the jeld is drafting off those riders, while struggling to stay together. When the racers are bunched up, that means the pack has slowed down, but that is when a breakaway is most likely to happen!

Very safe! There is a dedicated team of volunteers and professionals to keep things running smoothly and safely. Bales of hay are used to protect the riders in the event of a fall; secure fencing is set up around the course to keep the race contained; and we have a fully trained, on-site medical team (just in case).

Spectator safety at the Giro di Burnaby Here are a few common sense tips to keep in mind on race day:

• For the safety of the spectators and racers, please obey the race marshals at all times. • Cross at the designated crossing points along the course and only cross when a designated race marshal indicates it is safe to do so.

How do I know who’s winning?

• Bikes and pace cars can exceed speeds of 60 km/h and the road is reserved at all times during the course of the evening just for them.

The winner is the jrst rider across the line at the end of the race. So nobody’s really winning unless there’s a breakaway group of riders pulling away from the pack.

• Keep your hands well inside the fencing.

Where can I get more info?

Is the race safe to watch?

Yes. Riders are part of a team with one or two designated “leaders,” or riders capable of winning the race. The rest of the team protects the leaders from crashes, keeps them at the front of the pack, and positions them for the jnal sprint.

The bell signals to racers and spectators that there will be a sprint contest (or “prime,” pronounced preem) for money or prizes when racers cross the start/jnish line on the next lap. Spectators, including local businesses that would like some exposure, can donate a prize by handing the announcer cash during the race. Primes don’t have an effect on the jnal standings, but racers love to compete for them. It creates a sprint within the race and causes the speed of the whole pack to increase, making it more exciting and challenging.

Are there team tactics?

View this high speed, high intensity race from a corner to see over 100 riders lean their bikes into a sharp turn while riding shoulder-to-shoulder, or watch at the start/jnish line to see the ultra-fast sprint specialists go for cash lap prizes (called primes). Many other locations on the course will put you within a few feet of the riders at full speed. Just keep your hands behind the barriers!

What’s with all the bell ringing?

“We couldn’t even be where we are today without the amazing support of the sponsors who have stuck with us and have been with us since year one,” she said. “It’s just getting more support, and I’m just so appreciative of all the work that everybody does to make this day a success.” Tough economic times forced the cancellation of the 2009 and 2010 Giro di Burnaby, but the race returned the following year to renewed fanfare and a three-year sponsorship deal with Embassy Development, Appia Development and Palladio Jewellers.

Lockhart embarks on ‘cool experience’ Burnaby boy Beijing bound to play for Keenan Grant Granger ggranger@burnabynow.com Luke Lockhart was a man with a plan for the next year. It called for the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association product to play one more season for the University of B.C.Thunderbirds, complete his sociology degree and then look to play pro. He didn’t have a hockey destination, or geographical one for that matter, in mind. Certainly China wasn’t on the plan’s map. Neither was one of the sport’s most brilliant and notorious coaches. They are now. He was talking to a boyhood buddy of his, ZachYuen, a former fourth-round pick of the Winnipeg Jets.This past season,Yuen played defence for the HC Kunlun Red Star of the Continental Hockey League in Beijing. When Lockhart asked him about the experience,Yuen mentioned the team was looking for players with Chinese heritage. Lockhart fits that bill because his mother Dale is Chinese. At first, Lockhart balked tellingYuen he’d certainly be interested in another year. But thenYuen told him about a tryout camp in early June at Burnaby 8-Rinks. “You should go,”Yuen said. So he did.The team’s owner, management and new head coach Mike Keenan were all there.They liked what they saw and asked him to come play for Red Star this year. So they worked out a deal and on Canada Day, along with UBC goalie Derek Dun of Surrey, Lockhart hopped on a plane bound for China. “It should be quite fun,” said Lockhart of his upcoming puck adventure. “It’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Lockhart grew up just north of Me-

trotown.The Seattle Thunderbirds selected him in the seventh round of the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft in 2007. He played five seasons for the south-of-theborder T-Birds finishing up as team captain. He scored 75 goals and 165 points in 345 games, which is the second most played in franchise history. After he aged out he retained the T-Bird moniker by joining UBC where he scored 36 goals and 74 points in 110 games over four seasons on the Point Grey campus. Although he didn’t talk to Keenan at the camp, “I’m sure he has a bit of a say of the players they’re bringing in and how they’re structuring their team,” Lockhart said. Keenan had a long and soap opera-ish coaching career in the NHL. His tough, and often strange, motivational techniques

gave him a shelf life of no more than four years in any one spot. He’s been the bench boss for eight NHL teams, including the Vancouver Canucks. His NewYork Rangers in 1994 beat the Canucks in a sevengame Stanley Cup final. Keenan spent the last three seasons in the KHL with Magnitogorsk Metallurg winning a league championship in 2013-14. “I’m excited. He’s a legend,” said Lockhart. “I remember him when he was coaching the Canucks when I was young (199799). Obviously he has a reputation of wanting his players to be hard working, but I look forward to that. It’ll be a great learning experience, and I look forward to that.” Despite his heritage, he’s never been to China. However,Yuen and some other friends who’ve been over there have told

him he’ll be able to adjust. “I’m definitely nervous and a little excited at the same time.” Lockhart doesn’t speak Chinese but has started downloading some apps to learn some basic Mandarin. Unfortunately, his mom’s ability to learn the lingo is limited because she speaks Cantonese. “She’s excited for me as well. It’s a great opportunity. Both my parents (Dale and Guy) think it’s a great opportunity to further my hockey career as well as (the cultural) experience. It’s not every day somebody can say they moved to China to pursue a career. Obviously they want me to finish my school as well, but they know I’m close enough that I’ll get that done.” Continued on page 25

Alzner inks ﬁve-year $23M deal with Canadiens Grant Granger ggranger@burnabynow.com

Burnaby boy Karl Alzner didn’t win a $23 million lottery jackpot on Canada’s 150th birthday Saturday, it just felt like it. But in his case, he earned it. After spending a decade in the Washington Capitals organization, the 28-year-old NHL free agent defenceman signed a five-year, $23,125,000 contract with the storied Montreal Canadiens. During last week’s courting period prior to free agents being allowed to sign as of July 1, Alzner received offers from several teams, but he told reporters via a conference call the only city he visited was Montreal. “I’m happy this whole process is done. It’s been crazy,” Alzner told TSN’s James Duthie in a FaceTime interview Saturday. “It’s def-

initely the best hockey city in the world and probably on the top of the majority of people’s list, so it’s pretty cool.” Alzner was drafted fifth overall by the Capitals in the 2007 NHL entry draft.The former WHL Calgary Hitmen defender has spent his entire pro career in the Washington organization playing 591 games with the big club, scoring 19 goals and 117 points. Alzner admitted the whole free agent process was very stressful. “It was way, way harder than I was expecting,” said Alzner. “It’s kind of hard to explain the whole process, but you get so many people in your ear telling you one thing or another – teammates, friends, family – all that kind of stuff.You kind of expect a few things to go one way, and then all of a sudden they take a dip and turn and flip upside down. It was weird, for

Dollar details

Big payday: Salary structure of Karl Alzner’s five-year, $23,125,000 contract with the Montreal Canadiens: 2017-18 – $4 million salary, $2 million signing bonus 2018-19 – $6 million 2019-20 – $4.625million 2020-21 – $1.5 million salary, $1.5 million signing bonus 2021-22 – $3.5 million • Contract also calls for a seven team, no-trade list sure. I’m just glad that I was lucky enough to have teams that were interested in me, and got a few options and was able to make the best decision for the family.” Alzner’s animated anticipation of the possibility of winning a Stanley Cup with Les Habitants was considerable.

“It’s pretty exciting, there’s no better place to win than Montreal,” said Alzner. However, another thing that is considerable is the heat in the cauldron that is the coverage by the Montreal media of all things Canadiens.TSN analyst Ray Ferraro, who has known Alzner since he was a 14-year-old playing at the Burnaby Winter Club, thinks the affable Alzner will be able to handle the heat. “I would say the one thing that won’t bug Karl is the scrutiny that he is going to get because there’s going to be some heat on him because he’s not going to put up a bunch of points. But his personality won’t be the type that will get flustered and won’t be something he’s not,” said Ferraro on TSN. In another free agent deal Saturday, defenceman Patrick Wiercioch, who played for the

Burnaby Express of the BCHL in 2006-07, signed a one-year, $650,000 deal with the Vancouver Canucks. After the signing,Wiercioch tweeted out, “Can’t describe how good it feels to be part of the team you grew up cheering for!” Wiercioch, 26, was born in Burnaby but grew up in Maple Ridge. He was drafted by the Ottawa Senators before landing with the Colorado Avalanche last season.The six-foot-five blueliner has played 268 NHL games scoring 16 goals and 74 points along with 138 penalty minutes. Wiercioch told TSN1040 Radio he sold programs and 50/50 tickets at Canucks home games when he was a kid. “To get a fresh start with your hometown team is pretty amazing,” said Wiercioch.

He gets $700,000 a season if he plays in the NHL and $375,000 in the minors. Landon, 25, has played 17 NHL games over three seasons with Detroit scoring one goal.
