Saskatchewan Sports Hall of
Fame Visits Martensville
Marcy Cross, Martensville Messenger
Local residents had the chance
to learn more about the talent in their own
province when Sheila Kelly, the Executive
Director, and Brock Gerrard, the Curator,
for the Saskatchewan Sports Hall Of
Fame (SSHF) brought a mobile display to
Martensville August 31. The trailer set up
in front of the Sports Centre on Main Street
and welcomed all visitors free of charge.
“This is about our thirty second
stop. We've been to Shellbrook, Prince
Albert, Estevan and all points between.
This is a brand-new program. We've had
about 20 people through and we are hoping
to get 50 people through. We really wanted
to celebrate our 50th anniversary so we
created the trailer and hit the road. The rest
is history,” Kelly explained.
“The highlight for me is the red and
black jersey from the Regina Roughriders.
We have a 1924 gold Olympic medal
from the Canadian hockey team. There
is a Star Wars Saskatoon Blades Jersey,”
Gerrard added.
There were numerous sports
represented within the display. “We hit
the big sports of hockey and football and
curling as well as the Olympic section.
There are 505 inductees in our Hall of
Fame and there's around 275 inductees
represented through images or artifacts in
the display. It's a lot of memories. Every
person's visit is different because they
recognize artifacts and people,” Kelly
stated.
The SSHF will do this again next
year in different locations. It is designed
as a two-year program; after that they will
use the trailer for outreach programming.
