Upon claiming a victory in the CBHL, Bercha disappeared for almost a year, leaving no trace of his whereabouts. Long time associates suggested he had returned to his training regime in the harsh wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. It was assumed that his decision was based on a desire to strengthen his game by facing off against nature’s brutal elements, all in solitude.

As time passed and the SGHA grew, the allure of the ultimate battleground became too much to ignore for the man known as The Outsider. Having conquered all challengers in his homeland, he longed for the heat of competition against the only beings capable of giving him a run for his money. He wanted to be among the elite once more. A return to Stonehart was planned accordingly, and through the cunning collaboration him and the Pit Boss, he would join the Gamblers.

The season progressed and the most classic battles of all time were waged. Crazy Train vs. Gamblers established new levels of competition, renowned the world over. How ever, the heat, intensity, passion and fury of the SGHA was not to be a fixture in the life of Bercha. Towards the end of the season, The Outsider simply vanished. Friends and foes, once again do not know what became of him. Two theories exist to explain his sudden disappearance: A) He skated through an ultra intense pocket of energy, built up during SGHA game play. Thusly, he was instantaneously transported into the nether regions of the galaxy. B) He decided that his style of play was not yet primed for the SGHA. He returned to his solo training regime, this time farther away from Stonehart than any man has ever dared to venture. Whatever the case may be, his departure sparked the beginning of the end for the traditional Crazy Train vs. Gamblers era.

Strengths: As fierce a right-winger as the league has ever known. Traveled approximately 3000km to make his SGHA debut. Is known for doing SGHA style celebrations while at work for no particular reason. Capable of smashing sticks in the blink of an eye. When present, is as dedicated as anyone to ever lace up the blades. Veteran of all forms of hockey.

Weaknesses: A new version of the icing rule had to be implemented after Bercha repeatedly took bad angle slap shots that deflected off the net and flew far into the summer sky. Turned his back on the infamous “Rain Game.” Has yet to ever capture a Midnight Madness crown.

Signature move: Right Side Ringer. No matter the angle or distance from the goal, Bercha will fire rockets at the target while streaking down the left side. Other players are weary of this loose cannon of a weapon because of its unpredictable nature. To defend this tactic, the defense must force him to the left side

Quotes from Bercha: “There is no substitute.”

“I could beat any player on the women’s tennis tour.”
