Welcome to the website of The Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame, currently under construction in partnership with our friends at MRX – please be patient as we build this exciting initiative with the care and attention it deserves!

Since September of 2007, a group of Hamilton sports enthusiasts has been working to create The Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame.

The Mission Statement of the HSHOF: Strive to celebrate and promote athletes, teams, coaches, officials and builders who have achieved the highest standards of excellence while representing Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. And to recognize those whose contributions have been exemplary in the promotion of sport, as well as current athletes who are achieving significant standards.

The Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame will begin online with the expectation that within time, it will have a permanent physical home.

The Board of Directors has finalized the approval of applicants who had submitted their interest in sitting on the Selection Committee. Selection Committee ran from January 20, 2010, to February 5, 2010, inclusive.

This Committee will be charged with selecting the first inductees into the Hall, from nominations made by the general public, and members must be prepared to serve two year terms.

The public nomination process is currently under way. The general public may nominate athletes, teams, coaches, officials, builders of their choice by filling out the form on this website, outlining why in their view a nominee is deserving of consideration and nominations close on March 5, 2010.

Furthermore, the public will have an opportunity to participate in our community initiative to select the visual identity and branding of The Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame through a partnership with The Hamilton Spectator and this process commences the week of February 15th, closing on March 12.

More news will be announced before the end of February as we formally announce the 2010 Inaugural Class of The Hamilton Sports Hall of Fame, before the end of March, and as we announce future exciting event plans for April and for September of this year.
