To Mr. John McCaw and Mr. Stan McCammon,
This petition is intended to show the disgust that fans of the Vancouver Canucks Hockey club are feeling at how the General Manager of the team, Mr. Brian Burke is currently being treated by ownership.
Under Mr. Burke's direction the Canucks have become a contending hockey club, a financially successful business, and a team that the people of Vancouver can be proud of. He has done an admirable job for his employer, under difficult circumstances, and he deserves much better treatment then he is currently getting.
The recent actions by the ownership of the the hockey club, Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment have resulted in Mr. Burke becoming a "lame duck" GM and we as fans of the club find this completely unacceptable. We as fans feel the quality of our club will suffer if Mr. Burke is not resigned. It will send a signal to other quality candidates that no matter how good of a job you do, you will not be appreciated.
We feel that the ownership of this team is allowing egos to overrule sound hockey decisions, and as the fans that make the business successful, we find this despicable and unacceptable.
We also feel that certain media members have a vendetta against Mr. Burke, and that ownership is concerning itself a little too much with the opinions of these so-called "experts".
Therefore we present this petition, demanding that Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment do the right thing, and treat Brian Burke with the respect he deserves, and they reward him with a new contract for the outstanding job he has done with his hockey club for the people of Vancouver.

- Brian Burke has restored pride to Canucks fans and contributed to the well-being of the community as a whole. Failing to re-sign him can be seen as nothing else but a slap in the face of loyal and paying fans.

- I think Burke has done a fantastic job bringing this team to the level it's at today. I really think it would be a damned shame to lose him on the open market to any other team in the league.

- Mr. Burke has done a tremendous job, and failure to re-sign him would be a bad business decision. He has made this team the best Vancouver Canucks team ever, and his extraordinary work should be lauded.

- He's given credibility to an organization which was in dissarry before he came. He added stability where there was none before. His hard-nosed ways have been the staple of Vancouver Canucks Hockey. He made this team what it is and deserves to stay.

- The greatest investment a NHL team can make is in a capable GM. Thankfully Vancouver has been blessed with an exceptional GM. Mr. Burke's track record speaks for itself, and with such a track record it is a little curious why a corperation such as Orca Bay would allow the perception of mistreatment to persist. The obvious is that Mr. Burke deserves a new contract. With the so called 'big market' teams it is fine to judge a GM by his playoff history, but a team such as Vancouver needs an astute mind such as Mr. Burke to survive. Someone who, while not always popular with fans or media, can manage the delicate balance between both finacial and hockey success in a canadian city. As a fan I feel that by resigning Mr. Burke, you send the message that NHL hockey is alive and viberant in Vancouver, and will continue as such. Please heed our plea.

- As a long-time Canucks fan, I vividly recall the miserable days of the late '90s, where wins were few and far between. The last thing anybody wants is a return to that futility. Brian Burke has played an important role in the turnaround of the club, and he deserves to be rewarded accordingly -- or do you really want to send a signal that high performance goes unrewarded? Please do the right thing and resolve this situation quickly!

- We've waited 34 years for someone to turn this team into a frontrunner.... I will not sit by and see the man who has done more than his fair share to turn the Canucks into a contender be run out of town. SIGN BURKE!

- Mr. Brian Burke is an excellent GM, probably one of the best in the NHL, and for him to NOT be re-signed by the Canucks simply only shows the lack of respect to the teams success, the fans, and to Burke himself. Sign him now, so we can all move foward and capture lord stanley.

- I strongly endorse keeping Mr. Burke. While i am not a season ticket owner, i frequently go to games by "sharing" some from a friend who does have season tickets.

- I'm only 21 years old but have been following the Canucks for 14 years. Through thick and thin I've supported the team, it's great to see a winning team again. The team Burke built! I'd still follow the Canucks even if Burke isn't back but I'd be choked if the owners sat back and didn't re-sign Brian.

- Your a business man right? Then you should know you should keep Burke, one of your employees who changed a team that was losing 30 million to a team making 12 millino. A diffrence of 52 Million

- Burke has done wonders for this team and even though he does not always act the way us fans want him to, it is probably for some good reason.
