The Burninators are a Canadian team managed by keqrops, who started Hattrick in season 11, at a time when the Homestar Runner references that generated the team name, arena and fanclub seemed slightly less dated than they do today. The Burninators promoted to the All-Canadian for the first time at the end of season 23, and spent several seasons yo-yo-ing between high finishes in II and qualifier finishes in the All-Canadian. They were unexpected All-Canadian champions in season 32, and somewhat less unexpectedly won a second title in season 35; they won their first Cup in season 36, defeating Wolfville Wanderers 2-0 in the final.
They are one of the comparatively few teams to have achieved success with a defensive coach. This, allied to regular use of the counter-attacks tactic and high passing and set pieces skills throughout the squad, has defined the style of the team for many seasons now.
