These are the 11 men who formed the Yorkton Football Team – it was “football” to the early European settlers of the area, now commonly called soccer in North America. The photo is inscribed “Yorkton Football Team, May 29th, 1897”. Little is known about them, but it was likely the first sports team in Yorkton. Holding the ball is Albert Oldroyd, who lived at Good Spirit Lake.

This is a work in progress, at this time displaying all photos, with captions in the process of being added.
Our online museum provides photos of Yorkton sports artifacts and memorabilia, so everyone everywhere can view them. We also display items in showcases on the second floor of the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton, where all the inductees are also recognized.
Items are grouped by the sport with which it is identified; sports are listed in alphabetical order.
We have made every attempt to correctly identify the items shown here, but the origin and dates of some remain unknown. If you see any items you can identify, or see any that have incorrect or incomplete information that you can provide, please contact us so we can update the captions.
Other photos associated with inductees can be found with their induction writeup.
