@JasonBeck82 Is the Hall not moving back in after the FIFA dog and pony show finishes?

What an absolute joke. Maybe the worst day I’ve had in 23+ years working at the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

One story: a person wearing a FIFA vest approached our staff yesterday while we moved artifacts out. “Why are you still here?” this person asked us. “It’s our last day, we’re moving out,” one of our team replied. “Ok that’s good,” the FIFA rep answered. Unreal. I almost lost it.

Good conversation here with the estimable Martin Cross on our book, The Eight. Cross won a gold in rowing at the '84 Olympics in L.A., and is one of the most respected voices in the sport. Like this one a lot. youtube.com/watch?v=_jld0I…

Second excerpt here from The Eight is up on Row2K. These excerpts give an accurate portrayal of the look and feel of the book. row2k.com/features/6762/…

@EvanDunfee @mattsekeres @VicMontagliani Thanks Evan. Great idea and one we could have done a few months ago, but now not enough time, staff, or resources in the last few days before the closure. Btw, saw you training down Cambie a couple Saturdays ago while on my drive to another moving day at the Hall.

@mattsekeres @VicMontagliani If I was the City I’d be offering up some city owned space at a community centre or city hall and asking @JasonBeck82 and his team if they could do a temporary soccer focused exhibit if nothing else.

@BurrowsAmanda The lack of compensation is the ridiculous part. I get that the space is needed temporarily, but this is disrespectful not to offer some compensation

Article here in the Times Columnist from my main man Cleve Dheensaw about The Eight. The bulk of the story takes place around the national team centre at Elk Lake but the themes are universal and applicable to all sports. It's worth your consideration. timescolonist.com/sports/the-eig…

Another consequence of FIFA coming to Vancouver. The BC Sports Hall of Fame has to vacate BC Place during the World Cup. Frustrating. These places hold local stories and history. The irony of displacing a local sports museum for a global sports event is hard to miss.
CityNews Vancouver@CityNewsVAN

The BC Sports Hall of Fame says it has been ordered to shut down for two months to make room for an international media centre during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and it won’t be getting any compensation. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/05/07/van…

Talking hockey with Punch McLean was 1 of of things I will never forget. The mayor of Queens Park has sadly passed away. No one loved hockey more the Punch. It was in his blood. RIP Punch New Westminster will never forget you.
