Tickets are available now at hamiltonsportshalloffame.com. Sponsorship opportunities are also available by contacting [email protected].</p>
601<p><strong>ABOUT THE 2025 INDUCTEES</strong></p>
602<p><strong>LESS BROWNE</strong> holds the Canadian Football League record for most career interceptions with 87, and the all-time professional football record for interception return yards with 1,508. He played 12 seasons in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1984–1988), Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1989–1991), Ottawa Rough Riders, and BC Lions, and was part of three Grey Cup championship teams (1986, 1990, 1994).</p>
603<p>Browne was a six-time CFL All-Star and was selected to the CFL All-Decade Team of the 1980s. During his standout season in 1990 with Winnipeg, he recorded 14 interceptions in a single season, one of the highest single-season totals in league history. His 12 career playoff interceptions are also among the CFL’s all-time best. Browne was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2002 and was named one of the Top 50 CFL Players of the Modern Era by TSN in 2006.</p>
604<p><strong>PATTY THOMPSON</strong> Hamilton-born swimmer Patty Thompson emerged as a force in Canadian swimming during the 1960s. She represented Canada at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics in freestyle events and won silver and bronze medals at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. As a professional marathon swimmer, she won several international titles and was named World Women’s Professional Marathon Swimming Champion in 1969. Patty is the daughter of Jimmy Thompson (Class of 2010), making them the first-ever father-daughter duo inducted into the Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame.</p>
605<p>In 1991, at age 45, Thompson swam across Lake Ontario in 19 hours and 18 minutes, becoming the oldest woman at the time to complete the feat. Throughout her career, she won nine Canadian championships and set multiple national records in long-distance events. She was inducted into both the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the Ontario Aquatic Hall of Fame, and served as an influential coach and advocate for women’s sports and open-water swimming.</p>
606<p><strong>CONNIE WARD</strong> A dominant junior competitor in five-pin bowling, Connie Ward transitioned to adult competition in 1986 and quickly captured the Ontario singles title and a team provincial championship with the Hamilton ladies. She went on to win the Canadian National Open Singles Championship in 2007 and has medaled multiple times in national and provincial competitions.</p>
607<p>Ward holds a career national match-play average of 259.95 over 167 games, with a 59.5% win rate, ranking her among the most consistent elite bowlers in Canadian five-pin history. Her performances at the Ontario 5 Pin Bowlers’ Association (O5PBA) championships have made her a multi-time all-star, and she remains active in mentoring young bowlers across the region. Ward was inducted into the C5PBA Hall of Fame in 2013. Ward also enjoyed a decorated career as a 10-pin bowler.</p>
608<p><strong>DON ROBERTSON</strong> has spent more than four decades shaping Hamilton&#8217;s hockey landscape. A former player and referee, Robertson became best known for his work as owner and general manager of the Dundas Real McCoys, leading the senior men’s team to multiple Allan Cup appearances and national championships, including Allan Cup wins in 2014, 2023 and 2024.</p>
609<p>He has held leadership roles in the Allan Cup Hockey League, served on the Hamilton Police Services Board, and continues to contribute as a respected community builder and sports advocate. He has been a licensed real estate broker since 1974, a local sports columnist, and a longstanding promoter of community hockey. Robertson’s impact on the sport and the City of Hamilton has been recognized 
609with multiple civic awards.</p>
610<p><strong>1986 HAMILTON TIGER-CATS</strong> won the 74th Grey Cup in emphatic fashion, defeating the heavily favoured Edmonton Eskimos 39–15. Coached by Al Bruno, the team featured a stifling defense known as &#8220;The Junk Yard Dogs,&#8221; which held Edmonton to just 6 points until the final minutes.</p>
611<p>Mike Kerrigan threw for over 330 yards and was named Offensive MVP, while Grover Covington, the CFL’s all-time sack leader at the time, earned Defensive MVP honours. Kicker Paul Osbaldiston added 5 field goals and won the Dick Suderman Trophy as the game’s top Canadian. Other standouts included Rocky DiPietro, Less Browne, Howard Fields, and Ben Zambiasi.</p>
612<p>That season, the Tiger-Cats led the CFL in fewest points allowed, total defense, and finished with a 9-8-1 regular season record before storming through the playoffs. The 1986 team remains one of the most iconic championship teams in Hamilton sports history.</p>

739<p>(Jan. 10, 2023 by Scott Radley) It didn’t matter that Willie Bethea was a heck of a football player and a major contributor to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats&#8217; dynasty of the 1960s.

752<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
753<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
754<p>(Dec. 11, 2023 by Daniel Nolan) Vinnie Ryan discovered his passion for boxing when he was 10.</p>
755<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
756<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
757<p>He got beat up in his native Dublin and his father decided it was time Ryan learned to defend himself. So, he took him to a boxing club and Ryan admitted to being scared.</p>
758<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
759<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
760<p>He told the Spectator in 2006 his first bout was with the toughest kid in the gym.</p>
761<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
762<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
763<p>“I closed my eyes, threw a straight left and hit him right in the nose,â€
763 Ryan said. “He went down and was pumping blood. I said, ‘Hey, get up. This is fun.’”</p>
764<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
765<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
766<p>That first bout would lead Ryan, who died at age 84 on Oct. 31, to become a Canadian boxing legend.</p>

931<p>(July 25, 2023) Joe Kowal, a member of the 1975-76 Hamilton Fincups squad inducted by the HSHOF in 2011, has passed away at the age of 67.</p>
932<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
933<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
934<p>Joe scored 32 goals with the Fincups in the regular season, and added another 5 in the OHL playoffs.</p>

936<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
937<p>Joe, a Toronto native, was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the second round of the 1976 entry draft and he spent two seasons with the Sabres. The rest of his pro career was spent in the American Hockey League until his retirement in 1981.</p>

943<p>(May 31, 2023 by Scott Radley) In the 13 years that the Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame has been a thing, inductees or other people around town have regularly donated artifacts and memorabilia to organizers, figuring they’d know what to do with them.</p>
944<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
945<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
946<p>It was terrific the stuff wasn’t being destroyed or lost to be sure. But without a physical home, it eventually just found its way to a storage room at the Eva Rothwell Centre.</p>

961<p>(May 26, 2023 by Harvey Starkman) On Nov. 17, 1939, two boxers met for the first time at centre ring in a darkened Milwaukee arena, the air blue with cigar and cigarette smoke. Their fight was the main event of the evening. The other fighters on the card were just beginning professional boxing careers. None would last long.</p>
962<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
963<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
964<p>For 10 punishing rounds, the two strangers traded blows to the body and head. They were small men who fought with heart, not finesse. There was no high drama for the spectators; no knockouts or knock downs to trigger an adrenalin rush. Just two fighters doing what they could do. At the final bell, the judges awarded the decision to Hamilton hero and future Featherweight Champion Jackie Callura.</p>

1005<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1006<p>It’s a drinking game: if the lone pin standing after your first roll is the five pin — considered the easiest to hit — and you also fail to knock it down on your next attempt, you owe everyone taking part in the game a drink.</p>

1047<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1048<p>And they convey a vibe of early rock and roll, which is cool, or at least used to be cool when people used the word “cool.”</p>

1050<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1051<p>Lately, though, I’ve been looking into the fundamentals of the sport after learning that a ten-pin record of continental significance happened in Hamilton more than 140 years ago. To understand the importance more fully, I decided to head out to one of the city’s bowling alleys.</p>

1150<p>(By Tim Miller) Of the 13 racing personalities the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame (CMHF) recently announced as its newest inductees, three of these have strong ties to the Hamilton area. Part of the 2022 class includes track owner Uli Bieri, race photographer Bruce Biegler and oval track racer Gary Elliott.</p>
1151<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1152<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1153<p>Let’s start with Elliott who is known as the “Iron Man” — and for good reason. He started racing in 1969 and continues to ply the paved ovals. He began with mini-stock cars, competed with a Canadian vintage modified (hobby car) for decades, and then modifieds before settling in with a late model, which he races in the Maritimes since his move east from his Greensville home three years ago.</p>

1193<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1194<p>“He probably wasn’t as gifted as a lot of kids who come along and never make it, but the thing that made him was hard work and devotion to the job,” Sazio told the late Spectator sports writer Tony Fitz-Gerald in 2015.</p>

1325<p>(April 15, 2022 by Tim Miller) Bill Sadler, one of Canada’s most prolific road race car builders, has died. He was 91. He designed and built a succession of race cars beginning in 1953 that were innovative, successful, and went on to acquire international fame. He built sports racing cars along with open-wheeled Formula Junior and Libre cars.</p>
1326<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1327<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1328<p>A native of St. Catharines, Sadler went to work for his father’s auto electric shop in that city, then performed the same work at Sadler’s Hamilton branch before working as a guided missile te
1328chnician at Hamilton’s Westinghouse plant.</p>

1340<p>(March 24, 2022 by Scott Radley) You’d need some serious closet space if you were going to become a collector of sweaters from all the major junior hockey teams that have called this city home over the generations.</p>
1341<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1342<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1343<p>From the rather uninspired-sounding Hamilton Hockey Club of the 1933-34 season to the Tigers, Whizzers, Barons — an outfit that played just one game — Majors, Lloyds, Szabos, Tiger Cubs, Red Wings, Fincups, Steelhawks and Dukes right to today’s Bulldogs, it’s been tough to keep up with all the changes.</p>
1344<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1345<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1346<p>Yet, one thing has remained constant.</p>
1347<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1348<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1349<p>In all that time, no Ontario Hockey League (or before that, Ontario Hockey Association) team representing this city has ever finished first in a regular season. We’ve had a few seconds. A number of thirds. Nine dead-lasts. But first?</p>
1350<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1351<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1352<p>Not once.</p>

1364<p>(March 3, 2022, by Scott Radley) It didn’t matter if you were the richest guy in the city or someone down on your luck who didn’t have two pennies to rub together. If you were on Barton Street and you wanted a conversation, you walked into Kenesky’s.</p>
1365<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1366<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1367<p>Because any time of day, any time of year, Joel Hulsman would talk. About hockey, about city politics, about the street. Mostly about you.</p>
1368<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1369<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1370<p>“When you walked into Kenesky’s, you were walking into his living room,” says longtime business partner Pete Richards.<

1371<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
1372<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
1373<p>The longtime owner of the Hamilton landmark died suddenly on Sunday. He was 65.</p>
