Just to clarify, these are the hardcourts. Don't quite understednd where the clay idea came from...

Bear with me here, but even animals know to use a non-marking sole on clay courts. Clearly these are hard courts.

Only in Vancouver indeed, if it was China this sort of thing would cause pandamonium

Why are the tracks so highlighted? Fake? Or, did someone dust the tracks?

Ever check the courts in Alaska? Yellowstone? Yosemite?

sureshs · 10-14-2012, 12:28 PM

Yeah, after there was a concer that a bear was on the court RCMP came to "take the prints" and dusted the tracks.

There is a dirt road, between those benches just outside the court and the forest. Bruin had to cross that to enter the court = dusty paws.

Unlike those other places, Vancouver is a major metropollitan area...

Aha! So, Dudley DoRight showed up to dust for paw prints. No doubt the bear has a criminal record.

I remember Vancouver had a huge problem with Bruins a couple of years ago. There were even riots about it, as I recall.
