P.E.I. Hall calls for nominations

The P.E.I. Sports Hall of Fame is calling for nominations to be part of the induction class of 2021.

Athletes, coaches and builders who were born, or lived on P.E.I. during their athletic prime and have brought sporting honour to the province on the regional, national or international stage may be eligible for induction, provided they have been retired for at least five years, or be considered to be five years past their athletic peak.

Those in the builder category must have made a significant contribution to their sport for at least 10 years.

Island teams who have achieved success at the regional and national levels are also eligible for nomination.

Nomination forms and more details are available by visiting www.peisportshalloffame.ca or by contacting Nick Murray at 902-393-5474, or peisportshall@gmail.com. The nomination deadline is June 30.

The P.E.I. Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1968 as part of the Summerside Lobster Carnival, and currently has more than 200 inducted members. It has a display space at Credit Union Place in Summerside. An induction ceremony recognizing the 2020 inductees, and those selected in 2021, will take place once gathering limits are eased by the Chief Public Health Office. The Hall inducts four new members every year.
