Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame Located in New Westminster, BC
Canada's Lacrosse Hall of Fame:
- the game's greatest players, teams The Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame was chartered in 1965.

Early in 1963, a group of lacrosse enthusiasts in New Westminster decided that, because of the Royal City’s historical background in the National Sport, New Westminster would be an appropriate location for the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. With the blessing of the City Council, the interested parties applied to the Canadian Lacrosse Association for a charter. Their interest was rewarded after an aggressive campaign. The charter was awarded in November of 1964, and the Hall of Fame was incorporated under the Societies Act in 1965. Selection committees were appointed in both the East and West to name the charter members. The committees met in Montreal on January 19, 1966, and 48 founding members were inducted. On May 17, 1967, Tom Gordon, then President of the Canadian Lacrosse Association, officially opened the Hall of Fame premises, located in New Westminster’s Centennial Community Centre. Since then, a steady flow of historical and championship pictures, famous lacrosse player’s sticks, sweaters, plaques, medals and trophies have been donated for display. In 1980, extensive alterations and additions were made to the Hall of Fame to allow for better presentation and understanding of the items on display and of Canada’s National Sport. The museum is the home of both the Minto Cup and the Mann Cup, Canada's top lacrosse trophies. Induction of new members is made on an annual basis. To the usual three categories – field players, box players and builders – a Veteran category was added in 1997 to preserve the memory of stars of yesteryear, and in 1988, an outstanding team category was also added.

For over 20 years, Glenn showed an incredible work ethic to be the best player and teammate that one could be. His commitment and loyalty unmatched.

He was a leader on and off the floor and always put his teammates first. He took on some of the most difficult defensive assignments, and he could score in transition when the opportunity arose.
