On Saturday, June 2nd, New Westminster Lacrosse and the Metro Vancouver lacrosse community lost one of our own.  Olivia Malcom died tragically after attending a junior game in Delta.  Olivia's Celebration of life will be held on Sunday June 10th at Queen's Park Arena.

The Royal City Capitals would like to thank Langley and Royal City fans for their contributions to the Olivia Malcom Kindness Bursary Fund at the June 9th home game.  We raised over $1,200 that evening - $600 from the gate, almost $400 from 50/50 (the winner, Kelley Ribadoo, donated her winnings back in) and the Cap's donated an additional $250!
