Celebrate Sporting History at the Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame Induction Dinner June 2nd
Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame – The who’s who of the Ottawa sport community will gather to celebrate 50 years of sporting history and honour the newest inductees to the Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame on June 2nd.
Nominations for the top moments in Ottawa Sporting Heritage have been taking place since March, and the top 50 Moments will be unveiled at the induction dinner in June. From the return of the Ottawa Senators to the famous Grey Cup winning ‘catch’ by Tony Gabriel to the figure skating glory of Barbara Ann Scott and Liz Manley, or the fabulous back stretch run by Glenroy Gilbert to win Olympic relay gold in Atlanta, Ottawa has an incredible sporting heritage to celebrate.
Also honoured at the dinner will be the 2017 Hall Inductees, the OSEG founding partners Roger Greenberg, John Ruddy, Jeff Hunt, John Pugh and Bill Shenkman. The event takes place at the Horticultural Building at Lansdowne and features a networking reception, dinner, entertainment and more!
