Career

Burrows began his career at the age of 19 in the Québec Major Junior Hockey League with the Cataractes de Shawinigan . After he had not been considered for the 2002 NHL Entry Draft , he moved to the Greenville Grrrowl in the East Coast Hockey League for the 2002/03 season . Later in the season he changed clubs again, this time to the Baton Rouge Kingfish . For both clubs he scored 32 points in 66 games in his first season. In the following season 2003/04 Burrows came to the Columbia Inferno , the then ECHL farm team of the Vancouver Canucks, and increased there to 29 goals and 73 points in one season. Early that same season, Burrows signed with the Manitoba Moose in the American Hockey League , where he played two games before being sent back to Columbia.

Burrow's aggressive style of play earned him a contract with the Vancouver Canucks, which he signed on November 9, 2005. He had already been invited to a training camp for the 2005/06 season and was sent back to the Moose after the camp was evaluated. On January 2, 2006, Burrows was called for the first time for an NHL game in the Canucks roster and has since established himself with the Canucks. After two seasons, in each of which he set new personal career records in the NHL, he was nominated in the 2008/09 season by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association as a Canucks candidate for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy . The season itself he closed with a new career high, scored 28 goals and 23 assists. In the 2009/10 season he exceeded his previous year's figures and scored 35 goals in 82 games, gave 32 assists and collected 67 points. This remained his best season in the Canucks jersey, for which he played continuously until February 2017. The 35-year-old was eventually transferred to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the Swedish junior player Jonathan Dahlén . One day after the transfer, he agreed with the senators to extend his contract by two years until the summer of 2019.

After a mixed year for the Canadian capital city club, in which Burrows was only able to contribute 14 scorer points in 71 season appearances, the management put him on the waiver in June 2018 in accordance with the regulations in order to be able to pay him the last year of his contract. A few days later, the 37-year-old announced his retirement from professional sport after 998 appearances in the NHL. He then took over the assistant coach position of the Rocket de Laval from the American Hockey League.

International

On an international level, Burrows represented his home country at the 2012 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden, and in 2014 in Minsk, Belarus . In both tournaments, the Canadians took fifth place in the final ranking.
