Two more men from Maple Ridge have pleaded guilty to charges stemming from last year’s Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.

Michael David Anderson entered a plea Wednesday to one count of taking part in a riot in Vancouver Provincial Court.

On Tuesday, Andrew Glenn Cuthbert also admitted to rioting. Both will return to court to fix dates for sentencing hearings in October.

Connor Epp pleaded guilty to the same charge in May. He is due back in court Aug. 10.

A fourth Maple Ridge man charged with rioting –  Jordan Houde – has yet to enter a plea.

Police have recommended charges against 225 people in connection with the June 15 rampage that erupted after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals to the Boston Bruins last year.  Onlookers shot video and photos and posted them on social media, fueling what became a massive crowd-sourced police investigation.

About 30 rioters have pleaded guilty thus far.
