Cumming "Cummy" Burton In addition to being a sports announcer and commentator on CKSO Radio and TV, Cummy Burton (real name Cumming) played professional hockey. Cummy was born in Sudbury, May 12, 1936. He joined the OHA's Windsor Spitfires in 1952-53.  He garnered seven goals and eleven points throughout 54 games.  The next three years of his junior career were spent in Hamilton as a member of the Tiger Cubs. In his first year Burton scored 30 goals and 55 points in 58 contests.  Even though his playing time was limited due to injuries he managed 16 points on six goals and ten assists in 28 games in the 1954-55 season.  In his final junior year, he scored 31 times, earning 61 points in 38 games. Then in the fall of 1955 Burton signed a pro contract with the Detroit Red Wings. Used in three games he never made the score sheet.  The next two seasons were spent in Edmonton with the Flyers of the WHL. Halfway through that second season (1957-58) Burton rejoined the Red Wings in the NHL for a 26-game stint scoring one assist. The following year his time was split between the Seattle Totems of the WHL and the Red Wings. In 14 games with Detroit, he scored one assist. Burton's pro career took him back to Sudbury with the Wolves of the EPHL. Over three years he provided consistent, steady offense, resulting in season earnings of 58, 36 and 49 points respectively. Burton was back in Edmonton for 1962-63 with the Flyers.  In the spring of 1963, he was moved to the Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL dressing for three games.  Burton played a year with the Charlotte Checkers of the EHL before leaving hockey.  However three years later he returned for one more year of pro hockey in 1967-68 with the EHL's Florida Rockets. He scored seven times and had 27 points in 52 games and then decided on permanent retirement from hockey. Burton was the nephew of Larry Aurie, a star player with the Detroit Red Wings from the 1930's.  Aurie's number six jersey has not been worn since he retired in 1939, with the exception of Burton who wore it as a tribute to his uncle in 1957-58. There is some noted confusion over rather Aurie's number is retired.   In the 1990's, Aurie's family pressed the Red Wings organization to immortalize No 6 in the rafters.  The Red Wings officially announced they would not formally retire the jersey.  They did promise to keep the number of circulation in memory of Aurie, thus No 6 would never be worn again by any other player. In his CKSO broadcast days, you may recall his TV show, "Diaper Downs".  Today, Cummy Burton resides in his hometown of Sudbury, Ontario.
