Russ Heard

Burnaby lacrosse icon Russ Heard was inducted into the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame in February 2014.

The lanky Heard was a scoring machine for the Burnaby Lakers. He was the Western Lacrosse Association scoring champion in 1992, 1997 and 1999 and a first-team league all-star five times. Heard racked up 1,201 points, including 447 goals, in the 399 games he played which is ninth all-time in the WLA. Heard also played in the National Lacrosse League for the now defunct Charlotte Cobras for one season and the Toronto Rock for three.

Heard’s No. 9 was the first jersey retired by the Lakers in 2013. He coached the senior Lakers for seven season making the playoffs each time.

Recognizing and celebrating those who have brought honour to Burnaby through their incredible achievements in the arenas of sport.

Sports have the unique ability to cut across differences in age, gender, ethnicity, politics and wealth to unify, inspire, entertain and amaze. Our Inductees and our Scholarship winners certainly are living proof of this.
