The Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame inducted four individuals and one team at its annual induction night Saturday, September 19 at the Gallagher Centre. They were Cathy Inglis, Karen Cottenie, Jeff Sharp and Andy Wyatt, as well as the 1991-92 Yorkton Regional High School Raiders senior boys basketball team.
This year’s inductees join 97 athletes and builders and 21 teams previously honoured since the Hall’s founding in 1994.
The local Hall of Fame also recognized two recipients of the Support for Sports Award, sponsored by the Kinsmen Club of Yorkton -- Gina Flett for her support of baseball, and Mike Jakubiec for his support for soccer. It is presented to deserving supporters of sports in Yorkton, including businesses, organizations and individuals.

We are on YouTube, where you will find all available videos of past inductions, including early ones from the mid 1990s, and all since the organization was revived in 2022.
As well, our YouTube channel includes a series we started two years ago, short videos where past inductees recall their sports, and their own induction.
We are now in the process of extracting more interviews done with inductees that were part of induction ceremonies, allowing us to show conversations with inductees who, in many cases, are no longer with us.
You will find us on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram @yorktonsportshalloffame.
Yorkton has a rich sporting history, and the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame and Museum strives to preserve our Home Town Heroes.
The Hall of Fame organization was inactive for several years, but in 2020 elected a new board of directors which worked with many of the original founders to revive the organization, seek new facilities and create a strong online presence.
In September of 2022, it held the first Hall of Fame induction in eight years. It was also provided with display space on the second floor of the Gallagher Centre, where all inductees are now recognized, and a collection of artifacts and memorabilia is displayed. The display area is open whenever the doors of the Gallagher Centre are open.

Back in 1938 or 1939, Marguerite Smith wrote a poem about the Yorkton Terrier team that played that winter season in the Saskatchewan Senior Hockey League.
The poem was preserved all these years by Joyce Anaka of Yorkton, a school friend of Marguerite, and herself a young hockey fan, who provided it to us.
The poem, and other stories and memorabilia from past years in local sports now have a home on this website, on a new page called Memory Lane.
If you have written stories and/or photos of bygone days in Yorkton sports, please get in touch.

Yorkton's sports history goes back nearly a century, and inductees into the Sports Hall of Fame go back to the 1940s and 1950.
To introduce some of our Home Town Heroes to the younger generation, we have produced eight four-page workbooks in the past four years that explore the accomplishments of 32 of our inductees, thanks to a grant from SaskLotteries.
If you know or have children interested in sports, and they know how to do basic research on this website, they will be able to complete the workbooks.
PDF files of the workbooks can be viewed, downloaded or printed by clicking the button below which will take you to the page where they are available.
To contact us, click the round blue icon at bottom right of every page. When we receive your message, one of our volunteers will reply as quickly as possible.
The Sports Hall of Fame and Museum displays some of its artifacts at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton, second floor (see map below).
