Tourney's Origin and Onwards

It was a meeting that took place that would come to shape the world we would live in.
This meeting would transform the hockey pool world forever. And now, for the first time, comes the untold story of how the Tim Burton Invitational (TBI) began ...

In the year 2000, the city of Langley received a time capsule to preserve a way of life for future generations to discover. That same year, this British Columbia city ( located at the heart of the Lower Mainland ) also saw rise to a tournament that generations to come would discover. A local establishment known as the Shark Club Bar & Grill would be home to that tournament. It was here, at the largest sports bar in the Fraser Valley, where Tim Burton challenged Langley Home co-worker Mark Sikma to an NHL playoff pool. The results favoured the man hailing from Windsor, Ontario by a mind-boggling large margin but the Cerebral Assasin was honing his prediction skills even then, and made it close the 2nd time around. Now, the man representing "Abbie" in B.C. is "cleaning house" and is the defending Champ of both Regular Season and Playoff pools.
  Can Burton or newcomer Victor Wong ( who hails from Vancouver, B.C. ) stop Sikma? Can anyone? Stay tuned.
