Vancouver, BC – The BC Sports Hall of Fame is mourning the loss of Jim Robson, the iconic broadcaster whose voice became inseparable from the Vancouver Canucks and from hockey in British Columbia for more than three decades.

“We’ve lost one of the most influential, respected and loved people in sport; the one and only Jim Robson,” says BC Sports Hall of Fame Chair Tom Mayenknecht. “Few have touched more lives than Jim did in hockey, baseball and all walks of life. He will always be remembered, not only for his unicorn talents but for being the quintessentially great human being.”

To generations of fans, Jim Robson was the Vancouver Canucks. From the team’s first NHL game on October 9, 1970, through more than 30 seasons on radio, Robson was the constant voice of the franchise, never missing a broadcast due to illness and calling more Canucks games than any broadcaster in history. As players, coaches and eras changed, Robson’s voice remained the soundtrack of Canucks hockey.

His calm authority, vivid play-by-play and unmistakable delivery made listeners feel as though they were seated beside him in the arena. Robson was there for every defining chapter in the club’s history, including Stanley Cup Final appearances in 1982 and 1994, and his signature opening line and heartfelt welcome to listeners at home became hallmarks of Canadian broadcasting.

“Jim Robson set the gold standard for hockey broadcasting in this country,” says BC Sports Hall of Fame Curator Jason Beck. “His preparation, consistency and deep respect for the game made him trusted by fans and admired by peers. And as legendary a play-by-play broadcaster as he was, he was an even better person: humble, friendly, inclusive. He made time for everyone, whether it was a fan seeking an autograph or sharing supportive words of wisdom with an up-and-coming broadcaster. No one cared for hockey and sport in general in BC more than Jim. He will be remembered as the best of us.”

Robson was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000 in the media category, recognizing a career that helped define how sport was experienced in BC. Beyond the broadcast booth, he was also a cherished member of the Hall community, a mainstay at Hall of Fame events who took genuine joy in celebrating the achievements of others, offering encouragement, stories and applause with the same generosity that defined his career.

Meraloma Club Founders – Multi-Sport

Founded in the summer of 1923 initially as a swimming club by a group of 12 friends at Vancouver’s Kitsilano Beach, the Meraloma Club has thrived for over a century as one of BC’s longest standing and largest multi-sport clubs.Originally named the ‘Mermaids,’ soon after forming the club changed its name to ‘Meralomas,’ which was later interpreted to stand for the club’s motto: ‘Once a Meraloma, always a Meraloma.’ Over the next 100+ years the club has fielded teams in rugby, cricket, soccer, field hockey, fastpitch softball, basketball, cycling, and football. Nearly a hundred Meraloma athletes have gone on to represent Canada internationally in their sports and nearly another fifty have played their sport professionally. Other club individuals have served in key roles on various provincial, national, and international sports organizations, many building hall of fame careers. With over 1100 active senior and junior athletes on nearly 40 teams currently—and many thousands more over the previous century, plus countless coaches, administrators, referees, and volunteers—the club’s legacy in the community and around the world is immeasurable.

“We’re pleased to announce this annual funding support for the BC Sports Hall of Fame the same week that the team at the Sports Hall are inducting the Class of 2025, the latest tribute to the athletes, coaches, builders, pioneers, teams and media who have helped shape BC sport history, heritage and culture,” said Ron Jones on behalf of the Ron & Alma Jones Family Foundation.

“It is our family’s way to give back to the Sports Hall and the larger BC sports community in appreciation for all of the inspiration it has provided all of us over the years,” added Jones, who is himself an Honoured Member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame as W.A.C. Bennett Award Holder.

Vancouver, BC – The BC Sports Hall of Fame is relieved and grateful to announce that the racing helmet worn by legendary IndyCar driver and Maple Ridge native Greg Moore during his 1998 victory at the Rio 400 has been safely recovered. A suspect has been arrested by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) in connection with the crime.

The helmet, a cherished item on permanent loan from Greg Moore’s parents, Ric and Donna Moore, was stolen earlier this month in a brazen incident that drew national attention. The recovery comes after a thorough investigation led by the VPD.

“We’re incredibly relieved and thankful to have Greg’s helmet back where it belongs,” said Ric Moore, Greg’s father, on behalf of the family. “This helmet is more than just a piece of equipment, it’s a part of Greg’s spirit, and what it represented to him, to us, and to so many Canadians. We’d like to sincerely thank everyone who helped bring it home.”

“This is a moment of real joy and relief for all of us,” said Jason Beck, curator of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. “We cannot thank the Vancouver Police Department enough for their outstanding work and persistence in this case. Their commitment to preserving our shared heritage made this recovery possible.”

The Hall would also like to thank BC Place and their security team, as well as the public for their support, vigilance, and concern throughout the investigation. The helmet will soon be reinstalled in the Hall’s exhibit honoring Greg Moore’s remarkable career and enduring legacy.

The post Historic Greg Moore Helmet Recovered After Theft from BC Sports Hall of Fame appeared first on BC Sports Hall of Fame.

The helmet was part of a permanent loan from Moore’s parents, Ric and Donna Moore and is considered one of the most iconic items in the Hall’s motorsport collection. While the helmet carries significant monetary value, given its historical rarity, as Moore passed away at just 24 years old, it holds an even deeper significance for the Moore family as a cherished reminder of Greg’s life and legacy.

The theft occurred on Wednesday afternoon (Sept 3^rd), after staff discovered that the helmet had been stolen from the mannequin beside Moore’s IndyCar. The suspect was a man wearing a black hat, black pants, blue shirt, grey jacket, white shoes, and carrying a burgundy sports bag.

“That helmet is a part of Greg that we’ll never get back,” said Donna Moore, Greg’s mother. “It’s not just racing gear, it’s a symbol of who he was, the joy he brought to people, and the dreams he chased. Please, if anyone knows where it is, help bring it home. Not just for us, but for everyone who loved Greg and what he stood for.”

The stolen artifact is a distinctive helmet with Player’s Racing Team and Mercedes logos on the forehead. It is decorated with blue and gold checkers, a red and yellow lightning bolt motif, and a peacock feather-inspired design.

“This helmet isn’t just a valuable artifact, it’s a deeply personal and irreplaceable piece of Canadian sports history,” said Jason Beck, Curator of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. “It represents one of Greg Moore’s greatest triumphs and is a lasting symbol of his legacy. We are devastated by this loss and urge anyone with information to come forward.”

The Hall of Fame is working closely with VPD and BC Place security, and encourages anyone with tips or information to contact Vancouver Police Department or the BC Sports Hall of Fame directly.

We have been reviewing our options when it comes to dates for both the VIP Class Reception – which is highlighted by the official unveiling of the plaques for the Class of 2025 in the storied Hall of Champions at the BC Sports Hall of Fame at BC Place – and the Banquet of Champions itself.

We expect to finalize our dates and format in the coming weeks. To that end, we will continue to communicate directly with our new inductees, all those who purchased tables or tickets, and with the other key stakeholders who make up the BC Sports Hall of Fame family.

In the meantime, we thank you sincerely for your understanding, your continued support, and your shared belief in the power of sports heritage and culture in British Columbia. If you have any questions about your tickets or tables, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (604) 687-5520 or [email protected].

We look forward to sharing new dates with you shortly and to celebrating the remarkable Class of 2025 together in true BC Sports Hall of Fame style. Thanks again for your kind understanding as we move forward.

The post Update on the Rescheduling of the Class of 2025 VIP Class Reception and Banquet of Champions appeared first on BC Sports Hall of Fame.

There are very few days that go by in which the BC Sports Hall of Fame is not actively celebrating British Columbian sport history, heritage and culture, in some way shape or form.  Paying tribute to the extraordinary athletes, coaches, builders, pioneers, teams and media that help define our identity as one of Canada’s leading sport sectors and active living communities is what we’re all about.

Job 1 for us will always be the BC Sports Hall of Fame Banquet of Champions, which will this year take place Wednesday, June 4^th, at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. That special event – our single biggest fundraiser – is first and foremost about recognizing the game-changing British Columbians who have made sport what it is today here on the west coast and throughout BC.

Our galleries, exhibits and displays at the BC Sports Hall of Fame at BC Place in downtown Vancouver are a cavalcade of artifacts, trophies, medals, photographs, and other sights and sounds that remind us of the golden sport legacy of BC sport.

Above and beyond our daily admissions, tours and special events on site, our role as the BC sport community’s go-to storytellers is reflected in regular online and social media features such as On This Day in BC Sport History, compiled more than 300 times per year by curator Jason Beck and our curatorial team. It is also represented in the biographies and photographic images that make up our directory of hall of famers at www.bcsportshall.com.

Add in the inspirational storytelling inherent in our Hero in You program, along with our ongoing media relations campaign and special announcements, and we can take pride in our daily efforts to honour the past and inspire the future. It’s our responsibility and our privilege to do so. And it has been ever since the BC Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 1966, almost 60 years ago, at our original location at the PNE.

That upcoming milestone – our 60^th Anniversary celebration — is yet another opportunity to elevate the ongoing work that we do as your custodians of BC sport history. It’s also a reminder of the direction established in the Inspiration 2026 strategic plan – and the Inspiration 2018 plan that came before it.

Counting down to our 60^th Anniversary will only galvanize our ongoing efforts to expand the footprint of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. We do so in the context of the 2024 Grey Cup, the ever popular Canada Rugby Sevens, the awe-inspiring Invictus Games and, of course, all of the global interest that will put Vancouver, British Columbia and Canada in the spotlight of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. That will be quite the 60^th birthday party!

In the meantime, we’ll continue to work with you to serve as the best BC Sports Hall of Fame that we can be. Central to that is our recent efforts to bring out the “BC” in our Sports Hall of Fame activities, programs and services, in which we have:

• Recognized our founder and first curator in the form of the Eric Whitehead Inspired Service Awards.

• Established Lifetime Leadership & Achievement Awards for those British Columbians who have literally dedicated much of their lives to the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

• Adopted a commitment to new levels of information-sharing, collaboration and best practices in the emergence of the BC Sports Hall Network, comprised of the more than 40 local, regional and sport-specific halls of fame throughout British Columbia. We are still early days in the ramp-up of the Network, but thanks to the support of our BC Sports Hall of Fame Foundation, the resources of the Canadian Association of Sport Heritage (CASH) and the grassroots passion of local volunteers and staff throughout the province, we are making significant strides.

• Resolved to rotate the Annual Summit of the BC Sports Hall of Fame around the province. Not only has this converted a traditional line expense item for our Annual General Meeting into a net revenue generator, it has spawned increasingly strong relationships throughout British Columbia. After our pilots in New Westminster (2019) and Surrey (2021), we have brought the Annual Summit to Kelowna (Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame) in 2022, Greater Victoria (Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame) in 2023 and Kamloops (Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame) in 2024. We’re already excited to celebrate the Abbotsford 2025 Annual Summit of the BC Sports Hall of Fame September 18-20, 2025, energized by our partners and friends at the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame.

• Promoted various DEFINING MOMENTS IN BC SPORT HISTORY, not only on-site at the BC Sports Hall of Fame, but at our Annual Summits to date.

• Created the designation of “Sport Heritage Community”, whereby the BC Sports Hall of Fame recognizes the role played by communities in supporting extraordinary achievement on the strength of facilities, coaching and volunteer support, sport tourism, sport science and more. It’s our way of saying thank you to municipalities that have consistently put sport first from generation to generation, including the City of Kamloops, the first to be designated as a “Sport Heritage Community” (in September of 2024). Watch for at least one more community to be recognized in the coming months.

• Produced digital learning modules and curriculum for schools throughout British Columbia, starting with the Canadian Metis icon that is Terry Fox, an honoured member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame and arguably the most inspirational British Columbian and Canadian of all time.

• Established our In Memoriam Tribute series, wherein we endeavour to take special steps to protect the memory and legacy of BC Sports Hall of Famers who have passed away. We’re inviting the support of BC Sports Hall families, donors and prospective sponsors to help us keep their stories very much alive. It’s all part of our commitment to ensure that our Hall of Famers are never forgotten.

• Launched our Digital Indigenous Sport Gallery, the first virtual celebration of indigenous sport in the world, building on the award-winning, in-person Indigenous Sport Gallery that was opened in 2018 at the BC Sports Hall of Fame. It will go a long way to ensuring that British Columbians – especially the next generation of indigenous young people – are only a click away from some of the most remarkable sport stories of triumph in the face of adversity, all in the compelling spirit of truth and reconciliation. Our mid-term goal is to create an unrivalled tandem of in-person and virtual galleries so that all British Columbians can live these dreams of achievement, no matter where they reside in BC.

• Embraced the notion of partner halls – such as that contemplated for the Digital Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame and, ultimately, The West Wing of the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame at the BC Sports Hall of Fame. As we envision the period immediately after the 2026 FIFA World Cup of soccer, we’re thrilled with the notion of such a tribute to basketball in British Columbia and Canada, especially in the lead-up to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

• Working with the tremendous support from BC Pavilion Corp and our friends at BC Place, enhanced the luxury suite experience at the iconic stadium that has been the site of so many of the biggest moments in BC sport history. There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t appreciate the new-found opportunity to showcase our artifacts in the home of the BC Lions, Vancouver Whitecaps and special events that span World Rugby Sevens and some of the biggest concert acts in the world. Building on these showcases at BC Place, we are striving to identify any and all meaningful storytelling opportunities throughout the community, including potential partnerships throughout the province that will allow us to put much of our back-of-house storage where it belongs, in the eyes of the next generation of young British Columbians.

Individually and taken together, we like to think that these initiatives in the countdown to our 60^th Anniversary will reflect the “BC” in the “BC Sports Hall of Fame” like we’ve never been able to before. We hope that you can be part of such history and we thank you in advance for your support as we strive to be the best BC Sports Hall of Fame that we can be.

The post BC Sports Hall of Fame Honoured Member Peter W. Webster Awarded King Charles III Coronation Medal appeared first on BC Sports Hall of Fame.

This week has been another reminder that the calendar of sport history rarely – if ever – takes a day off. We have come to realize that almost every day is a day to build and strengthen our sport heritage and culture in British Columbia; by honouring the past and inspiring the future. Each day is another opportunity to engage all of us, especially the next generation of young British Columbians and Canadians that will make headlines in the weeks, months and years to come.

The week began with sad news on Sunday, with the passing of Al Raine after a courageous battle with ALS. At the age of 83, he leaves behind his two sons Charley and Willy and wife – the one and only Nancy Greene Raine, who reigned the world of women’s skiing in the late 1960s and who’s outstanding 1968 (including the Grenoble 1968 Winter Olympics) was one of the reasons she became such an inspirational Honoured Member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 1969.

Al’s passing also leaves behind a legacy of coaching, leadership and innovation that truly elevated the sport of skiing and the snow sports industry. We are so grateful that we were able to present Al and his wife Nancy our Lifetime Leadership & Service Award, in person in September at the Kamloops 2024 Annual Summit of the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

In a week in which the WNBA announced a regular season game at Rogers Arena in Vancouver — the first-ever in B.C. with the Seattle Storm meeting the Atlanta Dream on August 15^th, 2025 — we were reminded of the late Dr. Jack Taunton, who among his many passions and projects in sport science and sport medicine, not to mention the larger sport community, was heavily advocating for the WNBA in British Columbia. That’s more inspiration from Dr. Jack, who was literally creating, building and promoting until the day he died. That’s yet another cue from Dr. Jack for all of us to strive to make a difference and build an even stronger B.C. sport community. In that way, we honour Dr. Jack and make the most of his legacy in the years to come.

And finally, it was a week in which Terry Fox was confirmed as the brilliant canvas and focal point for the new $5 Canadian bill. In what is a beautiful win-win in which the “Fox Five” will begin circulation in the coming year and former Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier will move up to the new $50 bill, the news is arguably the single biggest-ever acknowledgment of the breadth, scope and inspirational impact of the Terry Fox legacy. That will not only benefit the Terry Fox Foundation, the Terry Fox Centre, the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Marathon of Hope Cancer Care Network here in B.C. and across Canada, it will honour – every day – his athletic achievement of 143 marathons on consecutive days in 1980. That in turn will ensure his legacy continues to transcend sport into cancer research and fund-raising, both domestically and around the world.

With each of these three special British Columbians – Terry Fox, Dr. Jack Taunton and Al Raine – very much in our thoughts this week, the BC Sports Hall of Fame did what it aims to do each and every day. Whether it was by social media post, email messaging, media release or this Inspirations e-newsletter, we did our part to tell their stories, and to do so with the commitment to excellence that allows us to honour the past and inspire the future. Like all our Honoured Members, they deserve nothing less.

Yet the other reminder is that we can’t do what we do without you. The BC Sports Hall of Fame is only as strong as our network of supporters and the resultant footprint that we have on the British Columbia sporting landscape.

First and foremost, we are ALL about our Honoured Members. You are the heart and soul of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. Period.

Yet we can’t do it without our Nominators, those who are moved to submit nominations for consideration as the next Class of Honoured Members in any given year. The stronger and greater the number — and the more inclusive are our nominations – the more inspirational each class will be. Thanks to all of you who nominated this past year and over the years and thanks to those of you who will submit new nominations on or before June 30^th, 2025.

Thanks to our Selectors, officially known as the members of our Selection Committee. This dynamic cross-section of Honoured Members, media and community leaders/Trustees invests considerable time in ensuring that the best of the best are presented as our new class, each and every year.

We can’t do it without the BC Sports Hall of Fame Foundation and its Board of Directors. Thanks to each and every one of you for your stewardship of our legacy fund, one which this year crossed the $2.7M threshold and which – thanks to our combined efforts – will help ensure the long-term sustainability of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. Our planned giving campaign to help build the legacy fund to our first major milestone of $5M will only grow in the years to come thanks to those who believe in the power of sport and the inspiration of sport history, heritage and culture.

We can’t do it without our donors. No matter how small or how large your donation, you are making an impact, one that will be paid forward not the future for generations to come. We appreciate those of you who contribute every year – often more than once – and we welcome those of you who will make their first donation(s) this year.

Thanks also to our Council of Chairs, the group of former Chairs of the BC Sports Hall of Fame who care so much about the Hall that they continue to support our best efforts to this day. We don’t take your wisdom and counsel for granted – not to mention your advocacy of our new In Memoriam Tribute Table campaign.

Thanks to our Trustees, the community, business and sport leaders who work together to govern the Sports Hall and our growing BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum Society. Without your strategic counsel, leadership and dedication to the cause of inspiring the future, we would not have the same capacity to navigate through the ups and downs of the marketplace nor be able to envision the future growth that we see. Thanks not only to our Trustees, but our Committee members across Finance & Audit, Governance & Planning, Special Events, Revenue Generation & Partnerships, Galleries and more. We couldn’t do any of this – from our Banquet of Champions to our Annual Summit – without you. Thanks also to our Honourary Trustees, who exemplify the best of the best in BC sport, business and life.

We couldn’t do it without the emerging BC Sports Hall Network, the group of more than 40 local, regional and sport-specific Halls of Fame that are coming together to share best practices and information and to collaborate at the grassroots of sport history, heritage and culture. With your ongoing support and strength of leadership in your own communities, you’ll help us grow the BC Sports Hall Network into one that one day will have more than 100 local halls covering every corner of the province of British Columbia. And with more strength and capacity locally, we’ll be stronger provincially.

Thanks to those professionals in our media community. Whether you connect with sport history, heritage and culture in print/digital, radio, television or social, you make a difference on the strength of your own take on the athletes, coaches, builders, pioneers and teams who have made the BC sport community what it is, one of the strongest in North America. Every story you tell will inspire another group of young British Columbians in the years to come.

Thanks to our community and business partners, including the new tranche of corporate sponsors who will help us as we launch new partnership and investment opportunities in 2025 and beyond, especially in the lead up to Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 and the FIFA 2026 World Cup. Multi-platform support from leading brands and corporations and small to midsize businesses will help define a new future for the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

We also couldn’t do it without the sport sector that we serve as your go-to storytellers throughout the year. That includes the Government of British Columbia, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture & Sport (welcome aboard Spencer Chandra Herbert as the new Minister) and viaSport, along with Canadian Heritage and the Government of Canada.

It also includes all multi-sport organizations, including Sport BC, KidSport, BC Women & Sport, ISPARC, the BC Games Society, the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, SportMedBC and BC School Sports. Moreover, we couldn’t do what we do without the Provincial Sport Organizations (PSOs) and Local Sports Organizations (LSOs) who govern and manage their respective sports year-round – to those who have sport-specific Halls, congratulations and thank you. To those of you thinking of launching a new Sports Hall in your sport, call us and we’ll work to get you part of the BC Sports Hall Network.

We certainly couldn’t do it without our other key partners and teammates in the promotion of sport history, heritage and culture, including our friends at BC Place and BC Pavilion Corp (PavCo).

Yet our boldest ambitions and growth strategies are only realized and made possible on the strength and passion of our lean, mean staff and management team. Thank you for everything that is done under the day-to-day leadership of our CEO Michelle Kitchen, curator Jason Beck and our staff, both year-round and seasonal. We appreciate your daily efforts on behalf of the BC Sports Hall of Fame. It’s an appreciation that goes 24/7 but is especially poignant and meaningful as we celebrate the end of one year and the ushering in of a New Year of challenges and opportunities.

Best of the season to you and yours, on behalf of all of us at the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
