New award recognizes supporters
The Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame and Museum (YSHF) has established a new award, the Support for Sports Award, sponsored by the Yorkton Lions Club. The award will be presented annually to individuals, businesses, clubs and organizations who have displayed a longterm and significant commitment to supporting amateur sports in Yorkton.
The support can take many forms, including volunteerism, financial or in-kind support, organizational assistance, traditional or new media excellence or other ways that have benefitted sports organizations or athletes.
It also provides an opportunity to recognize those who otherwise do not qualify for induction into the Hall of Fame but are deserving of recognition by the community.
A trip down memory lane

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 two worksheets that explore the accomplishments of eight of our inductees. The project was sponsored through a grant from Sask Lotteries.
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 worksheets. Printed copies are available to schools, youth organizations and parents by contacting us, and PDF files of the worksheets can be viewed, downloaded or printed by clicking the button below which will take you to the page where we store our documents.

The Sports Museum has collected and catalogued more than 500 items related to sports in Yorkton dating back almost 100 years. Some of the items are on display at the Gallagher Centre, second floor.
We have started the process of creating a virtual museum of all items and look forward to being able to give you an up-close look at the entire collection.
The Sports Hall of Fame and Museum website is made possible with the support of
the Kinsmen Club of Yorkton and UncommonSense Business Solutions.
