“There are so many people from our province who have made outstanding contributions to this great game that choosing the inductee class each year is always difficult. With such a rich hockey history in Saskatchewan, we know we once again have a superb class to announce,” stated SHHOF Board of Director Co-Chairs Blair Davidson and Jack Brodsky.
Each year, the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame celebrates the contributions and achievements of players, builders, teams, officials and those at the grassroots level. The annual induction dinner is rotated around the province in partnership with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association to showcase the hall, celebrate local inductees while proceeds benefit the local host community. This year the event will bring financial support to the Weyburn Red Wings Junior Hockey Team.
The Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame opened in 2012 in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Hockey Association’s 100th year celebration. The Saskatchewan Hall of Fame is located in the iplex in Swift Current. For more information, please visit www.saskhockeyhalloffame.com.
