Burt scored 20 goals last year and led Alaska all the way to Game 7 of the Kelly Cup Finals, scoring in each of the first two games of the championship series, including an empty-netter to seal a 3-1 in Game 2. The season marked the third straight in which a team captained by Burt advanced to at least the conference finals (Utah '08, Idaho'07). After seven years as a fixture in the Idaho lineup, including two Kelly Cup titles and two other finals appearances in the old West Coast Hockey League, Burt signed in in Utah in 2008 and scored a career-high 60 points on 27 goals and 33 assists, helping lead the Grizzlies to the conference finals a year after the team failed to even qualify for the playoffs. Burt’s 2007-08 season also included a career-high 144 minutes in penalties and his first ever American Hockey League appearance for Bridgeport, Utah’s AHL affiliate. After scoring 41 goals in his final year in juniors back in 1997-98, Burt played spent two seasons in the ECHL (one in Toledo, one in Wheeling) before joining the Steelheads in 2000 and helping the club reach the Taylor Cup Finals in the WCHL that year. Three years later, having returned to the ECHL when Idaho was absorbed into the league (along with Alaska), Burt scored twice and assisted on two other goals as the Steelheads won the 2004 Kelly Cup. In 2007, he scored the tie-breaking, game-winning goal shorthanded in the third period to beat the Aces 3-2 in Game Five of the conference finals and end Alaska’s quest to repeat as league champions. He also forced overtime in Game Two in Anchorage with the tying goal at 9:20 of the third period, a game the Steelies eventually won in OT. He ranks first on Idaho’s all-time list for career games played (403) and third in goals (111). Only once in his 11 full seasons as a pro (Wheeling) has Burt played on a club that failed to advance to postseason play.
