Just a friendly reminder:
The Bellies are a community owned, non-profit team.
When you buy a ticket, stream, beer or merch, you help us keep a 135 year old tradition alive.
Our volunteers give their time to keep our game alive.
Please show respect at all times.
The Senior Salmonbellies players, coaches, support staff, management and all our fans would like to send their condolences to the Malcom family on the tragic loss of their daughter Olivia. Our thoughts are with you during these difficult times.
The Salmonbellies appoint Jason Bishop as their new Head Coach. A homegrown leader with a championship pedigree, Jason brings a legacy of success and a deep-rooted connection to New Westminster’s lacrosse community. Link in bio for more.
We often refer to
#lacrosse
as Canada’s game but these moments ⬇️ remind us this game is a gift from the Creator & the first peoples.
Witnessing young players from opposing teams dance together reminds us that we are tied to one another through this beautiful game.
Kwas hoy!
There will be a celebration of life for Olivia Malcom this Sunday, at 2pm at Queens Park Arena.
During this Thursday’s home game against the Langley Thunder, all of our 50/50 proceeds will go towards the Olivia Malcom Kindness Bursary Fund.

The Salmonbellies are saddened to hear the news of Lyle Robinson’s passing.
Lyle played with the Sr Bellies from 81-89. He was an all star, champion and a leader, helping the Bellies to reach six Mann Cups and to win three.
He will be sorely missed by his team and community.
Hey Bellies Family,
We're working on Mann Cup tickets and will get word out to you ASAP. We appreciate your passion and we promise we'll get the word out soon!

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Randy Jones has joined our team as Assistant Coach! Randy was an intense & proven scorer when he played for the Bellies in the 90’s & is expected to bring those same qualities to our bench.
Welcome back to

Ummm… first, we did the math and the current logo is precisely 37.76% larger than back then.
Second, it’s the best-looking logo in lacrosse, so sorry, but we’re not sorry.
Third, it has never been about the size of the logo, but rather about the size of the hearts beneath it.
The biggest lie in sports is that talent wins.
It takes so much more:
Resilience.
Teamwork.
Character.
Discipline.
Love.
These things have been our recipe for 135 years.
You’ll see them on the green fir floor tomorrow.
We've lost of one our own. Mike Kettles played with us in the 80's & 90's, winning Mann Cups in 89 & 91. He was gritty, determined & loved by all. Mike was just 55 when he passed on Christmas Eve.
Our condolences to his family & all who loved him.
