Cindy Klassen is one of Canada's greatest ever speed skaters, and one of the most decorated Olympians to ever wear the 🍁. She amassed a total of 115 international medals in her career, was World Champion 9 times, and broke 7 international records. #HoFWeekly
#onthisday in 1950, the @DetroitRedWings won the Stanley Cup! The team featured @orderofsport recipients Gordie Howe (Class of 1975), 'Red' Kelly (1975), & Ted Lindsay (2002). It was the first win for all 3 Hall of Famers, who would go on to win 3 more Cups in the next 5 years.
This is the story of one of the most unlikely Olympic Gold medal wins in Canadian history! 👇 #HoFWeekly
25 yrs ago #OnThisDay, Wayne Gretzky played his final NHL game! The Great One capped off his legendary career uncontested at the top of nearly every all-time NHL scoring statistic. Wayne Gretzky was awarded the @orderofsport & inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
Terry Fox was awarded the Order of Sport in 1981!
Terry Fox was awarded the Order of Sport in 1981!
Edward Lennie was a respected Elder who dedicated his life to preserving traditional Arctic sports. He successfully lobbied for traditional games to be included in the first #ArcticWinterGames in 1970, creating a groundbreaking new showcase for Arctic sports in 🇨🇦. #HoFWeekly
It used to be a rarity for a Canadian to crack the lineup of a @MLB team, and even more uncommon for a northerner to shine in this American-dominated sport. Fergie Jenkins was just such an anomaly; he took baseball by storm as he toured the majors for 19 years. #HoFWeekly
Coach Tim Frick made remarkable contributions to 🇨🇦 sport, including leading Women's @WCBballCanada to 3 straight Paralympic gold medals & 4 straight World Championship titles. He also coached fellow @orderofsport recipients Terry Fox, Rick Hansen, & Danielle Peers! #HoFWeekly
The first Canadian to ever win @TheMasters was Mike Weir! He won his first @PGATOUR title in 1999 on home soil. Mike would go on to win 7 more PGA titles in his illustrious career. He is known for his quiet, focused, and humble approach, whether winning or losing. #HoFWeekly
After Warren Moon's prolific college football career, he should have expected interest from multiple NFL teams. However, he went undrafted due to the league's reluctance to accept Black players as quarterbacks. So, he took his talents to the @GoElks of the @CFL. /1 #HoFWeekly
Sam Langford is considered by some to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in history & one of the best boxers never to be world champ. To commemorate Black History Month, we will be exploring the remarkable stories of Black Hall of Famers every week. /1 #HoFWeekly
The stars were out in Gatineau! 🤩 Hall of Famers from years past showed up to support the Class of 2023 at the 67th Annual Order of Sport Awards! Help write history! Nominate a sport hero for the Class of 2024 here: orderofsport.ca/nominate/
“They probably believed in our dreams and goals more than we did” No team is complete without an incredible support system, and The Ferbey Four are no exception. Help write history! Nominate a sport hero for the Class of 2024 here: orderofsport.ca/nominate/
Some athletes are so remarkable that their accomplishments transcend mere sporting achievement. Rick Hansen on his Man in Motion tour raised over $26m for spinal cord injury research, wheeled over 40,000 km through 34 countries, & challenged stereotypes. /1 #HoFWeekly
A pioneering superstar, Jayna Hefford’s breakaway achievements have raised the profile of women’s hockey in Canada and around the world. Nowadays known for her work with @thepwhlofficial, this is the story of Jayna's storied on-ice Hall of Fame career. #HoFWeekly
Although Cassie Campbell-Pascall was a star for @TeamCanada for some 12 years, it was her performance off ice as much as on that made her such an important part of women's ice hockey during its formative years, and still to this day. 🏒 A thread of her achievements⬇️ #HoFWeekly
The fastest Canadian doesn't run on a track-she flies on skates. Over an eight-year span, Catriona Le May Doan was a key part of a Canadian revival in international speed skating. This is the story of her dominant run at the top of the speed skating world. #HoFWeekly
Help write history! Consideration for induction into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is a public process, and we are seeking nominations now! To nominate and see more information, visit orderofsport.ca/nominate
From the moment he stepped into the spotlight as a homegrown soccer superstar, Dwayne De Rosario’s storied career has sparked unprecedented growth in the beautiful game across Canada. ⚽️🍁 This is the story of @CanadaSoccerEN & @MLS legend Dwayne De Rosario. #HoFWeekly
