We are saddened to hear of the passing of Rowing Canada teammate, Kathleen Heddle. Kathleen was inducted into our Hall as an Athlete in 2003 and Team Member of the 1992 Canadian Olympic Rowing Teams in 1994. She was without a doubt one of Canada’s greatest rowers and most decorated Olympians. We were always impressed not only by her incredible athletic ability, but her calm strength in the most stressful of situations. She will be greatly missed by the entire BC Sports Hall of Fame family.

Welcome back to another episode of From the Vault! Today we have Museum Curator Jason Beck sharing the story behind Lyall Swaney's helmet. This was the helmet he wore during his very first year with the Canucks for the 1945-46 team. The helmet provided little support but Lyall Swaney was one of the few players who wore one. Did you find today's artifact interesting? See you all next week for episode 7, you don’t want to miss out!

We are excited to show you a snippet of another gallery here at the Hall! Our Team, Our Turf is dedicated to Vancouver's three professional sports teams: the Vancouver Canucks, Whitecaps FC, and the BC Lions. This gallery highlights the incredible milestones in BC sports history for each team. The gallery features the 1945-46 Vancouver Canucks (inducted in 2012). This team is significant to hockey history in BC, and their comeback tale is a remarkable read.... Have you ever visited the Our Team, Our Turf Gallery? If so, what was your favourite artifact or moment displayed in the gallery? Comment down below and let us know which gallery you would like to be highlighted next!

We are saddened to hear of the passing of former SFU chancellor and champion for women’s sport, Barbara Rae. Our sincere condolences go out to all those her life inspired in academics and sport. Barbara was an inspired community leader, advocate, and role model for women in business, academics, and sports. Her presence will be sorely missed.

Today, we remember all those who have served our country and the honoured members and featured athletes at the BC Sports Hall of Fame who are veterans. Joe Benoit, Ralph Henderson, William Lore, Robert Powell, Edward 'Cardy' Cardinal, Percy Williams, George 'Porky' Andrews, Paul Rowe and Muzz and Lynn Patrick are among the many who we will never forget.... Joe Benoit, a member of the 1938-39 Trail Smoke Eaters inducted to the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 1976, put his promising hockey career with the Montréal Canadiens on hold to join the armed forces at the age of 27. He's also believed to be the first Métis to play in the NHL.
