OKOTOKS, Alta. (Feb. 4, 2026) — Ron Delorme, a former NHL player who has spent 40 years scouting with the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks, is the 2026 recipient of the Two Glens’ Honourarium from the non-profit Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation.
The Foundation made the announcement today.
Delorme, 70, will be honoured at the Foundation’s third annual Wall of Honour induction dinner in Okotoks on Aug. 28.
The Two Glens’ Honourarium was created by the Foundation in memory of Glen Cochrane and Glen Dirk, two beloved members of the scouting community who lost battles with cancer early in 2024. It is presented annually to an individual or individuals who are dedicated to the profession and show humanitarian values and goodwill in their day-to-day lives.
The honourarium carries with it a financial benefit with the honouree able to present it to a charitable organization or an individual who requires assistance with medical and/or mental health challenges.
“Ron was a mentor to a lot of us . . . we all looked up to him,” said Scott Bradley, who chaired the selection committee. Bradley, who is in the Wall of Honour, is in his 33rd season with the Boston Bruins, now as senior advisor to the general manager. “I’m just so happy that Ron is going to get this award. I really can’t say enough about him.”
“Ron is the perfect candidate for the Two Glens’ award,” added Erin Ginnell, the Foundation’s president. “With 40 years of scouting behind him, he has helped so many fellow scouts and has been a mentor to a lot of us over the years. So many miles and so many laughs . . . he’s one of kind.”
After a knee injury ended Delorme’s nine-season professional playing career, he joined the Canucks’ scouting staff in 1986. In 2000, he was promoted to chief amateur scout, a position he filled for 22 seasons before stepping back to amateur scout. Add it all up and he now is in his 40th season as a Canucks’ scout.
A native of North Battleford, Sask., Delorme, who is Cree, grew up in Cochin, Sask. He has long been heavily involved in working with Indigenous youths both on and off the fields of play.
He is a member of both the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame and the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Two Glens’ Honorarium was first presented in 2025 when veteran scouts Dean Malkoc and Jesse Wallin were honoured.
