Racquteball Canada-Burgess back to the courts

Michael Burgess has had to endure a chain reaction of injuries and a long healing process, but the former nationally-ranked racquetball player can now think about stepping onto the court again.

Burgess, now a firefighter/emergency services technician with the Wood Buffalo Emergency Services in Fort McMurray, Alta., has been off the courts due to injuries -- first to his knee, then his ankle and eventually his back that put his education at the Brandon-based Manitoba Emergency Services College at risk.
