The Don Gladstone Award
Established 1992 for the HAWAII LACROSSE INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT MVP

The Hawaii Lacrosse Invitational Most Valuable Player award is given in the memory of Don Gladstone, a defenseman on the 1991 Haole Lacrosse Club from British Columbia, Canada. Don faced the Hawaii Lacrosse Club several times both in Portland and in Hawaii. He died suddenly in the summer of 1992, and will be sadly missed by all who knew him and by the game of lacrosse. A stellar performer on the field, Don also played on the Richmond Outlaws Junior A box lacrosse team at age 24, and twice went to the Canadian championships.
