Until Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Cindy Klassen finished school, she played every sport she could possibly fit into her schedule. By the age of 23, Cindy won her first Olympic medal, a Bronze in the 3000m, at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, but she wanted more. Using strategies like visualization and goal-setting, alongside intense training, Klassen managed to have one of the best seasons by a Canadian athlete on the World Cup speed skating circuit with 13 Gold, three Silver, and five Bronze medals. At the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Cindy became the first ever Canadian Olympian to win five medals in one Olympic Games; Gold in the 1500m, Silver in the 1000m, Silver in the Team Pursuit, and Bronze in the 5000m and 3000m, making her the most decorated Canadian Winter Olympian in history, with a total of six medals. Cindy also overcame a difficult double-knee surgery and won gold at the Ladies World Speed Skating Team Pursuit in 2011. She retired from professional speed skating and now goes beyond her wins, working tirelessly to provide girls and women with much-needed opportunities to play sports, becoming a role model on and off the ice, in Canada, and around the world.

Entering track cycling at the age of 28, Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Lori-Ann Muenzer would experience and overcome many challenges, obstacles, and physical setbacks, most notably a mountain biking accident in 1999 where she plunged off a cliff that almost ended her career, and a ruptured appendix in 2002 while competing in South America. Instead of quitting, she raised the bar. Using strategies like visualization and goal-setting, alongside intense training, Muenzer won gold at the 2004 Athens Olympic Summer Games, being the only Canadian, to this day, to do so. Even though Lori-Ann’s career began later in life than most athletes, she accumulated 13 National Championship Titles, 4 World Championship medals, 11 World Cup medals, 3 Commonwealth Games medals, and is a two-time Olympian (2000 & 2004) to become one of Canada’s most successful cyclists of all time. Lori-Ann gives back to her community by volunteering, supporting fundraising events for cancer research, penning self-help books, and providing motivational speaking.

Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Herb Carnegie was a Canadian ice hockey player and one of the best players to never play in a pro-league. He broke down many racial barriers as one of the first professional Black Canadian athletes in the sport and played on the first all-Black line in ice hockey history. The line was nicknamed the “Black Aces”, a play on the team name the Quebec Aces. While playing in the Quebec Senior Hockey League, Carnegie was voted his team’s Most Valuable Player three times and was often one of the top scorers in the league. After retiring from ice hockey Carnegie went beyond his wins when he founded the Future Aces Hockey School, one of the first ice hockey schools in Canada. The goal of the school was to foster respect, tolerance, diversity, and sportsmanship among young ice hockey players. Carnegie also continued his sports career as a senior golfer, winning numerous local and national championships.
Vincent Churchill “Manny” McIntyre - Induction year: 2015 Induction category: Athlete
Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Vincent Churchill "Manny" McIntyre challenged the racial barriers within his chosen sports of baseball and ice hockey. Manny set a career high .385 batting average in 1943 playing for the Halifax Shipyards as shortstop. In 1944, he was the League’s MVP, first team All-Star and voted most popular player. Manny played for Trois-Rivieres team in the Quebec Provincial League and in 1946 became the first black Canadian to sign a professional baseball contract with the St. Louis Cardinals farm team the Sherbrooke Canadiens. While taking a job working in the mines, Manny also began to play competitive ice hockey in the Northern Ontario League. He was part of the first All-Black line in semi-professional ice hockey known as “The Black Aces” and he travelled throughout Europe before returning to Canada to play with the Sherbrooke Saints in 1948, the Moncton Hawks in 1949, and the Saint John Beavers in 1950. Overall Manny compiled 187 goals, 278 assists, for 465 points in 468 games played during his career. Manny also served his country in the Second World War with the Lanark Renfrew Scottish Regiment.

Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Stan Mikita was a Slovak-Canadian professional ice hockey player who is well-known for accidentally inventing the “banana blade” after breaking his stick in practice and experimenting with curves on hockey stick blades to see how it can affect shooting. More notably, he played for Team Canada during the infamous Summit Series against the Soviet Union in 1972. It began as a series which Canada was supposed to win all eight games and ended in the most dramatic goal in hockey history. The 1972 Summit Series was organized as a result of Canada's frustration at not being allowed to ice a team of professional players at the World Championships and Olympics, where the Soviets showed up with only their very best. And so, September 1972 was arranged to settle all bragging rights, best on best regardless of amateur status. Four games in Canada - Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver - followed by four in Moscow. It was a series that pitted democratic Canada against Communist CCCP, professional NHL versus "amateur" Soviet hockey. It was East against West, known versus unknown. Canada ultimately gained victory, 4-3-1 in the eight games, and changed hockey forever. The world saw international hockey as it never had before, and out of this series came the Canada Cup and the start of professional hockey played between nations.

A career that began on his father's backyard rink developed into one of the greatest hockey has known. By 15, Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky made his debut in the OHL, and at 16 he played a full season with Sault Ste. Marie. He wanted to wear number 9, but it was already taken, so the coach suggested he put two 9s on his sweater. Thus was born the famous 99. Gretzky played his first international tournament in the 1977-78 season, becoming the only 16-year-old to lead the World Junior Championship in scoring. Within the next two years he was in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers. As a rookie, he tied Marcel Dionne for the lead in scoring with 137 points. The next year the Great One broke two major records, eclipsing Bobby Orr's assists mark and Phil Esposito's points mark. In '81-'82, he set a record which might never be broken, reaching the hallowed 50-goal mark in just 39 games. Gretzky led the Edmonton Oilers to their first Stanley Cup in 1984 and repeated again the next year, with 163 assists and 215 points. He took Canada to Canada Cup victory at the start of that season and another win in the 1987 Canada Cup. That '87-'88 season was his last with the Oilers as he was traded to Los Angeles after four Stanley Cups in Alberta. With the Kings, Gretzky continued to set records and recorded his 1,852nd point to pass the great Gordie Howe as the all-time scorer.

Vicki Keith
Induction category: Athlete
Crossing some of the most daunting bodies of water in the world, Order of Sport recipient and Hall of Famer, Vicki Keith has left unprecedented achievements in her wake, setting 16 world records and receiving over 41 awards and honours as a marathon swimmer. Born in Winnipeg and growing up in Ottawa, Pointe-Claire, and Kingston, she did not always show an aptitude for sport and was often picked last for teams in gym class. Undeterred, Vicki began training for marathon swimming in 1984, and very quickly began to raise the sport’s high water mark for endurance and skill. To date, she has raised over 1 million dollars supporting athletic opportunities for children with physical disabilities, complementing her record-setting ways with an outstanding legacy of mentorship and empowerment that redefines what it means to be a champion in Canadian sport. Vicki now works as a swim coach at Variety Village for youth living with a disability.
Marathon swimming is a nonstop, unassisted open water swim of 10 KM or longer.

Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least 3 km (1.9 mi). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength. In the sport of athletics, long-distance events are defined as races covering 3 km (1.9 mi) and above. The three most common types are track running, road running and cross country running, all of which are defined by their terrain – all-weather tracks, roads and natural terrain, respectively.

Induction category: Athlete
Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Tom Longboat was from the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario and is one of the greatest long distance runners in Canada. After escaping residential school as a child, Longboat found his passion for running while working at his Uncle’s farm. He won the Around the Bay Road Race in Hamilton, Ontario at 19-years-old and then began competitively training for the 1907 Boston Marathon, which he ended up winning. From there, he continued to dominate the sport, but despite his proven athletic abilities, he was subjected to racism and criticism because he was Indigenous. His unique training methods were heavily scrutinized in the media and made him an easy scapegoat for racial stereotypes and attitudes towards Indigenous Peoples. Longboat put aside his professional running career in 1916 at age 29 to join the Canadian Armed Forces serving in Europe as a dispatch runner. In 1951, the Tom Longboat Award—still administered today by the Aboriginal Sport Circle—was created to reward excellence in sport and physical activity among Indigenous athletes.

Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Gaylord Powless was a Mohawk lacrosse player from the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nations Reserve. He led the Oshawa Green Gaels to four consecutive National Championships and was named MVP every year. When he was just 17-years-old, he won the Tom Longboat Award. He later went on to have a successful career in professional and senior amateur lacrosse, highlighted by winning the Canadian National Senior Lacrosse Championship in 1971. As an Indigenous person, Gaylord was subjected to tremendous racism from coaches, players, fans and sports writers. His reaction was to recognize that he was a target for bullying and abuse and to overcome it by being the best player, and the highest scoring athlete. Today, Gaylord is still considered one of the best lacrosse players in the sport’s history, and his influence as a role model and inspiration to generations of Indigenous youth carries on.

Stan Mikita
Induction category: Athlete
Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Stan Mikita was a Slovak-Canadian professional ice hockey player who is well-known for accidentally inventing the “banana blade” after breaking his stick in practice and experimenting with curves on hockey stick blades to see how it can affect shooting. More notably, he played for Team Canada during the infamous Summit Series against the Soviet Union in 1972. It began as a series which Canada was supposed to win all eight games and ended in the most dramatic goal in hockey history. The 1972 Summit Series was organized as a result of Canada's frustration at not being allowed to ice a team of professional players at the World Championships and Olympics, where the Soviets showed up with only their very best. And so, September 1972 was arranged to settle all bragging rights, best on best regardless of amateur status. Four games in Canada - Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver - followed by four in Moscow. It was a series that pitted democratic Canada against Communist CCCP, professional NHL versus "amateur" Soviet hockey. It was East against West, known versus unknown. Canada ultimately gained victory, 4-3-1 in the eight games, and changed hockey forever. The world saw international hockey as it never had before, and out of this series came the Canada Cup and the start of professional hockey played between nations.

Speed Skating is a competitive form of ice skating on either long or short ice tracks. Athletes use special skates and compete solo or in teams of two to four.
Induction year: 2017
Induction category: Athlete
Until Order of Sport Recipient and Hall of Famer Cindy Klassen finished school, she played every sport she could possibly fit into her schedule. By the age of 23, Cindy won her first Olympic medal, a Bronze in the 3000m, at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, but she wanted more. Using strategies like visualization and goal-setting, alongside intense training, Klassen managed to have one of the best seasons by a Canadian athlete on the World Cup speed skating circuit with 13 Gold, three Silver, and five Bronze medals. At the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Cindy became the first ever Canadian Olympian to win five medals in one Olympic Games; Gold in the 1500m, Silver in the 1000m, Silver in the Team Pursuit, and Bronze in the 5000m and 3000m, making her the most decorated Canadian Winter Olympian in history, with a total of six medals. Cindy also overcame a difficult double-knee surgery and won gold at the Ladies World Speed Skating Team Pursuit in 2011. She retired from professional speed skating and now goes beyond her wins, working tirelessly to provide girls and women with much-needed opportunities to play sports, becoming a role model on and off the ice, in Canada, and around the world.

Powerlifting is a strength sport in which athletes aim to lift the maximum weight possible in three specific lifts: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. Weight class categorizes competitors, and their goal is to lift the heaviest weights in each of the three designated exercises. The sport emphasizes raw strength, requiring participants to lift without the use of supportive equipment like bench press shirts or squat suits in some competitions. Successful powerlifting demands a combination of physical strength, technique, and mental focus, making it a challenging and rewarding pursuit for athletes seeking to display their power and resilience.
