On the evening of June 15, 2011 in the downtown core of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a riot broke out almost immediately after the conclusion of the Boston Bruins' victory over the Vancouver Canucks in game seven of the Final of the National Hockey League to win the Stanley Cup. Nearly 150 people were injured during the incident, including four by stabbing. On the night of the riot, nearly 100 arrests were made by the Vancouver police, including 85 for breach of peace, eight for public intoxication and eight for criminal code offenses such as assault and theft. In 2015, four years after the riot, police completed their investigation and recommended final charges against two suspects, bringing the total to 887 charges against 301 people. The riot caused an estimated $4 million in damage with an extra $5 million being spent on additional staffing costs for prosecuting the rioters.
