He's in the International Ball Hockey Hall of Fame.
He spent time on the tennis court this summer warming up the pros at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. And has he ably demonstrated Saturday at Aberdeen Glen Golf Course, his golf game is the envy of most of his Vancouver Canucks teammates.
Is there anything Alex Burrows doesn't do well?
"Tennis is my sport, that's what I like to play most (aside from hockey)," said Burrows.
"It was quite an experience playing with some of the pros at the Rogers Cup. I've got to know over the years (Vasek) Popisil, and Milos (Raonic) and (Phillip) Bester too and was able to watch them play and hit some balls with them and that was fun."
It's a good bet Burrows shattered a few clay pigeons when the Canucks went shooting Saturday afternoon at the Prince George Rod and Gun Club.
Anyone watching him play hockey over the weekend at the Vancouver Canucks training camp at CN Centre knows the 10-year NHL veteran right winger still knows how to find the target with the puck . Burrows hit the 20-goal mark or better in four consecutive seasons and if not for injuries and the lockout-shortened 2013-14 season he likely would have made it seven in a row.
The 34-year-old is coming off an 18-goal, 33-point season in 70 games last season. During the playoffs in practice he broke a rib and tore rib cartilage and spent two painful months recovering but is back to full health, ready to return to his feisty ways as a top-line winger.
"I'm feeling great right now, the rib is not an issue,' said Burrows. "Doctors told me it was going to take six-to-eight weeks and that's exactly what it did."
It certainly hasn't affected his golf swing.
"I don't know if you've heard, I won the (Jake) Millford tournament and (his game at Aberdeen) was good too," laughed Burrows, a 10-handicap who shot an 86 in the rain on Friday. "But it took awhile, I didn't play golf all May and June and had to wait until July to play my first game this summer."
Head coach Willie Desjardins liked the chemistry of Burrows playing with the Sedins in the second half of the season and the Canucks might go back to that combination, although they had Latvian Ronalds Kenins playing with the twins at training camp.
Burrows was matched in camp with a pair of Canucks prospects -- 20-year-old Cole Cassels at centre and 19-year-old Jake Virtanen at right wing.
"They're both really good players, I feel pretty old playing next to them and I'm just having a lot of fun playing with them," said Burrows. "They're so young but they skate well, they've got good hockey IQs, they can shoot the puck and they're having fun and they're excited an that's contagious on me too. I'm looking forward to getting into a game with them."
He won't have long to wait. The Canucks are playing the their first exhibition game tonight in North Saanich against the San Jose Sharks. The game will be on Sportsnet, starting at 7 p.m.
Burrows likes his team's additions of centre Brandon Sutter and winger Brandon Prust and defenceman Matt Bartkowski.
"Sutter is going to be good up an down the middle and he can win some faceoffs in the D-zone and he can bring some offence and he's big and skates well," said Burrows. "With Prust, you know what you're going t get. He's going to be up an down the wing and he'll battle and work hard every night. Bartkowski has been skating well back there and likes to jump into the play so I think those needs have been filled and we have some young guys coming in.
"People see that youth as a negative because it's going to take some time, they're young, but those guys bring energy and they bring some compete level. I think last year when Ronnie (Kenins) came in but him and Bo Horvat were our best line for a month at one point. We're going to be a team that works hard and we'll have the will to win games. If we can have good goaltending and good special teams and stay healthy there's no reason we can't have a better season than last year."
