Bill Bradley began his box career playing juvenile lacrosse in North Burnaby. In 1961, with a big hand from Burnaby Sports Hall of Famer Bill Dickinson, Bradley formed and played on a Burnaby junior team that went on to win the provincial title and the right to represent the West in the Minto Cup Canadian championships.
The following year, the entire team moved up to the senior ranks as the Norburns &endash; Burnaby’s first senior A lacrosse team. Bradley went on to an accomplished playing career in Coquitlam and Victoria, garnering seven first team all-star selections in the Western Lacrosse Association and one in the Ontario league.
His career lacrosse statistics included 376 goals and 937 points in 498 games, earning Bradley an induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1987.
