How are Honoured Members chosen?
The people of Manitoba are the only ones with the power to choose Honoured Members. The people inducted into the Hall of Fame are individuals whose names have been submitted by nomination to an independent Selection Committee.
Anyone, except Hall of Fame staff and board members, can submit a nomination for induction. The selection committee considers nominations from the current year as well as unsuccessful nominations from three years prior.
A Veteran Selection Committee will also review nominees whose careers were completed over 40 years ago and make recommendations to the independent Selection Committee if they find deserving individuals and teams being overlooked by their younger counterparts in the process.
Nominate a deserving individual or team by completing our form below and submitting it to halloffame@sportmanitoba.ca by Friday, April 4, 2025, at 5 pm.
