“To be inducted into the Newfoundland and Labrador Sports Hall of Fame is one of the highest forms of recognition in sport in this province. This year, SportNL is celebrating its 50th anniversary and this was the 49th Hall of Fame induction ceremony – an incredible milestone for the organization. Thank you to SportNL for their outstanding support and promotion of amateur sport in Newfoundland and Labrador, and congratulations to the Hall of Fame inductees for their contributions to active healthy living and sport in this province.”
