2014 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame Inductees
The 2014 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame Gala and Induction Ceremony presented by RBC will take place in the city of Calgary. This year’s inductees, which were announced April 2, 2014, include:
- Athlete – Kyle Shewfelt, three-time Olympian and Olympic gold medallist
- Athlete – Cindy Klassen, three-time Olympian and six-time Olympic medallist
- Team – Beijing 2008 Men’s Eight Rowing Crew (Malcolm Howard, Andrew Byrnes, Kevin Light, Ben Rutledge, Jake Wetzel, Dominic Seiterle, Adam Kreek, Kyle Hamilton, Brian Price), gold medallists
- Coach – Marcel Lacroix, speed skating coach
- Builder – Ralph Klein, former Premier of Alberta
- Builder – Pat Quinn, ice hockey coach
- Canadian Olympic Order – Richard Garneau, sports journalist who covered 23 Olympic Games
“It is such an honour to be named as an inductee to the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame,” said Kyle Shewfelt, three-time Olympian and Athens 2004 Olympic gold medallist. “It had been my dream to compete as an Olympian for as long as I could remember, so to be recognized in this way for my Olympic accomplishments is so special.”
Co-chairs for the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame include Steve Williams, President and CEO of Suncor; Doug Mitchell, National Co-Chairman of BLG and Canadian Olympic Foundation Board Member; and Ken King, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Calgary Flames.
The Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame Gala and Induction Ceremony form part of the Celebration of Excellence, a three-day celebration (June 4th – 6th ) to celebrate Canada’s tremendous successes within the Olympic Movement.
Proceeds from the Hall of Fame Gala in Calgary will go to the Canadian Olympic Foundation as well as a legacy coaching program in Calgary to support the next generation of Olympians. The 2012 Hall of Fame Gala in Toronto raised more than $3 million for high performance sport and athletes in Canada.
2012 Inductees
In 2012, Olympic heroes Jean-Luc Brassard (Freestyle Skiing), Daniel Igali (Wrestling), Beckie Scott (Cross-Country Skiing) the 2006 women’s hockey team and 2010 men’s hockey team, as well as (Synchronized Swimming) coach Julie Sauvé and builder Sarah Burke (Freestyle Skiing) were inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame. In addition, past Canadian Olympic Committee President Michael Chambers received the Canadian Olympic Order.

“I couldn’t be happier with this induction,” said Scott. “To have competed for Canada at the Olympic Games and now to be inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame is truly an honour. I’m deeply appreciative of the career I had in sport and also for this amazing recognition.”
“It’s a real honour to be joining so many incredible athletes as one of this year’s inductees into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame,” said Brassard. “I already felt very privileged to be part of the Canadian Olympic family, and this honour is more than I ever dreamed of.”
“The 2006 Olympic team was probably the most talented Team Canada I ever played on,” said team captain Cassie Campbell-Pascall. “We had a great group of veterans and there was an influx of great young talent. To win gold in a convincing fashion was the product of so much passion and commitment from every single player and staff member. It’s hard to believe 6 years have passed already, but this is an honor for our team to be singled out like this as inductees to the 2012 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame.”
“The 2006 women’s team and the 2010 men’s team were both very special, taking on the world and winning,” said Bob Nicholson, Hockey Canada President and Chief Executive Officer. “Those two teams belong enshrined with the very best in Canadian Olympians and I applaud their induction into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame.”
“Sarah was one of those extraordinary women who believed that anything was possible,” said Burke’s mother Jan Phelan. “I think that her belief not only helped her succeed, but inspired others to be the best that they could be. I know that Sarah would be happy that all she worked for and sought to achieve is being honoured with her induction into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame.
“Coaching the national team for 30 years, through so many amazing athletes, routines, and competitions has been as fulfilling a career as one could dream of,” said Sauvé. “Today, I am truly honoured that I will join so many others whose career has been shaped by a continued search for excellence, both in others and in themselves.”
“It has been my good fortune to personally experience and see the incredible power for good that is brought to this world by the Olympic Rings,” said Chambers. “It has been my privilege, through those Rings, to help bring about positive change for Canadian athletes and coaches from all regions and corners of our country. It has been an honour to serve these many years, just as it is now an honour to be named to the Canadian Olympic Order.”
The 2012 Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame Gala Dinner and Induction Ceremony took place September 21 at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, capping off a week of activities from Ottawa to Toronto.

Eligibility
The following guidelines govern the selection of individuals to the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame:
- Membership in the Hall of Fame is open to athletes/teams, coaches and builders (officials, administrators, and volunteers) who have served the cause of the Olympic Movement with distinction.
- Nominees must have participated in sports, or contributed to the growth and development of sports, which were on the program of the Olympic or Pan American Games during their career. Nominees may come from either individual or team sports.
- Athlete nominees must have achieved significant success in international competition over a five-year period, and be retired from international competition for a minimum of five years.
- Team nominees must have achieved significant success in international competition and must be retired, as a team, from international competition for a minimum of five years. This condition does not apply to individual team members who may have continued competing individually or as members of other teams. Teams, for the purpose of these guidelines, are defined as three or more athletes competing together. The induction of teams applies only to the team collectively and not to its members individually.
- Coach nominees must have achieved significant success in international competition over a period of five years or more and be retired from international competition.
- Builder nominees may be active or inactive at the time of their nomination. Officials nominated as builders must have been internationally successful over a five-year period.
- Nominees must have held Canadian citizenship or Canadian residency over the course of their careers.
- Deceased athletes, coaches and builders are eligible for consideration.
Nomination
- An individual or organization may annually submit two nominations in each of the athlete/ team, coach, and builder categories.
- Nominees will be considered for induction in the year nominated, and, if requested by the nominator, for up to two successive years thereafter.
- In the event that a nominee is not selected for induction within the three-year period, the nomination will be declared inactive and may only be resubmitted after a period of four years has elapsed.
- A maximum of five pages of supporting documentation may accompany each nomination.
Selection
- A selection committee appointed by the Canadian Olympic Committee will evaluate nominees on the basis of the significance and scope of their achievements, their dedication to their sport, the consistency of their performance, and personal qualities that reflect the COC Values on and off the field of play.
- A maximum of five nominees will be selected annually for induction into the Hall of Fame. There are no automatic inductions.
- The selection committee, after review of the submitted nominations, may solicit additional nominations and support if they feel that that one of the following situations exists:
- there are no nominations for a particular category
- there are nominations that do not meet the general guidelines
- there are only nominations submitted for all categories from a limited number of sports.
