The 2018 Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Induction Dinner on October 27 was a great success with 200 attendees enjoying an evening of sports celebration.
It was a glittering, nostalgic evening at the Westin Bear Mountain on Saturday night as eight prominent sports individuals were inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame. It was the 25th Annual event.
The eight inductees are Dave Calder (Rowing), Rich Harden (Baseball), Alison Murdoch (Golf) and Deb Whitten (Field Hockey) - all inducted in the athletes’ category. In addition, three-time Olympic swimmer Ron Jacks was honoured in the coaching category for services to swimming, and Ian Lamplugh in the official’s category for baseball. The two builder inductees were Hugh MacDonald (Multi-sports) and Yeiji Inouye (Judo) who was honoured posthumously and represented by Greg and Caroline Inouye.
