Bill Bradley joined the Coquitlam Adanacs in their inaugural season in 1965 and quickly established himself as one of the go-to players on a roster some considered to be boxla castoffs. With Bradley’s defensive prowess setting the tone, the players proved everyone wrong by establishing the Adanacs brand as one to be feared. In just its second season, Coquitlam would top the Inter-City league.
Despite a reputation as a defensive pillar and physical force, Bradley would go on to accumulate 376 goals and 561 assists over 498 senior lacrosse games with various clubs. In Coquitlam, he posted 641 points in 295 games, putting him seventh among all-time Adanac scorers. A seven-time first-team all-star, Bradley was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1987.
