Former Clinton Comets forward Archie Burton remembered for 'down-to-earth' personality
Archie S. Burton II was considered among the biggest hockey supporters in the Mohawk Valley.
“He was a good ambassador for the area,” said close friend Jack Kane, the former Clinton Comets captain. “He did a lot for a lot of people that probably didn’t get recognized. He didn’t want you to know that he did something for you.”
Burton, a Sudbury, Ontario, native who relocated to the area in 1955 for his professional hockey career with the Comets, died Jan. 2. He was 89.
Burton was among the former Clinton players who frequently attended Utica Comets games in recent years.
