A New Westminster Salmonbellies legend being celebrated by the Coquitlam Adanacs?
Stranger things have happened, and in the case of Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Famer Geordie Dean, this one is long overdue.
Dean is being honoured this Friday by the Coquitlam junior Adanacs, who will retire his No. 5 in a ceremony prior to the New Westminster-Coquitlam junior A lacrosse game, 7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre.
Dean, raised in Coquitlam, was a sniper with the junior Adanacs for four seasons, tallying 378 points over 100 games. During his time in the junior A league, he was a four-time all-star, two-time scoring champion and MVP in 1981.
After being drafted by the senior Bellies in 1982, Dean would go on to help the team win three Mann Cup titles, establishing a number of national offensive records along the way. His record for career Mann Cup assists still stands.
