SUMMARY:CSHOF founder and lacrosse mentor Les Wingrove passes away
DESCRIPTION:Les Wingrove never met a conversation he couldn’t extend. \nThe longtime lacrosse executive loved to debate\, deliberate\, detail and define. He had a talent for talk\, and you’d routinely find him holding court on the corridors at various arenas around the Lower Mainland. \nWingrove died Friday. He was 74. \nHe knew the game backwards and forwards from various levels\, and reached arguably the pinnacle of the sport in 2001\, when he was general manager of the Coquitlam Adanacs team that captured the Mann Cup Senior A national championship. \nHe’ll be remembered for that. And for being a guy who considered a quick chat a discussion lasting at least 20 minutes. \n“I was coming out of the arena after my first practice with Coquitlam with a bunch of guys and Les was there in the parking lot and he and I got to talking\,” recalled Russ Heard\, the longtime Burnaby Laker stalwart who ended up with the Adanacs in 1999 as part of another championship push by Wingrove. \n“By the time we were done talking the parking lot was empty. Everybody else had left. By the time I got home\, my wife was worried that something had happened.”

SUMMARY:Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame Inductions 2017
DESCRIPTION:COQUITLAM\, BC – The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame continues its celebration of the best in community’s sports with the induction of two athletes\, two teams and three builders for the class of 2017. \nJoining the accomplished list of Hall of Fame members are soccer’s Carlo Corrazin\, football’s Nick Hebeler\, Centennial Secondary’s senior girls basketball teams of 1987 and 1988\, and builders Barry Parish\, Vivien Symington and Ken Winslade. \nThe athletes being honoured have elevated their game and their sport to higher levels through determination\, skill and dedication\, from football’s Nick Hebeler\, the Centennial senior girls basketball teams of 1987 and 1988\, and soccer’s Carlo Corazzin. \nHebeler was a standout lineman with the BC Lions from 1979 to 1985\, as well as two years in Saskatchewan.

His involvement in the sport\, as well as establishing the Jason Parish Memorial Scholarship\, have benefited local swimmers. \nSymington’s contributions in the areas of gymnastics and rehabilitation have made an impact globally.

SUMMARY:Coquitlam's sports hall welcomes new inductees
DESCRIPTION:COQUITLAM\, BC – The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame reflects the community we live in\, and to do that it invites you to make your contribution. \nThey’ve shone on the brightest sports stages in Canada and the world\, now the newest inductees into the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame will have a place of their own among the community’s fellow stars. \nOlympians Christian Farstad\, Kate Richardson and Tara Self and B.C. Lions linebacker Glen Jackson were voted into the Hall\, located in the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre\, as the class of 2016. \nThey are joined by builders Chris Bennett and Ernie Punch McLean\, who raised the bar in their fields as coaches and program developers in soccer and hockey\, respectively. \nFarstad was a member of the Canadian national bobsleigh team\, both 2- and 4-man\, from 1990 to 1997\, competing in the 1991 World championships. At that competition\, His two-man team placed 4th\, Canada’s best result at the time. Two years later\, Farstad’s 4-man bobsleigh scored silver at the world championships in Austria. He competed at the 1992 Albertville Olympics and 1994 Lillehammer Olympics\, then upon his retirement moved onto the administrative side of the sport and served as a founding member of the Federal\, Territorial and Provincial Task Force for High Performance and president of Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton\, among other volunteer positions. \nJackson was a dominating force as a member of the B.C. Lions from 1976 until 1987. A Vancouver native\, Jackson starred at Simon Fraser University then ambled over to Empire Stadium to begin a 12-year career as an unyielding force as a Lions’ linebacker\, with his famous Fu Manchu moustache one of the last sights opposing players glimpsed before being knocked to the turf. Jackson played 192 games and appeared in two Grey Cup finals\, including BC’s dramatic win in 1985\, while being selected to six Western all-star teams. Stats weren’t kept for defensive players until late in his career\, but the longtime Coquitlam resident piled up his share of sacks\, tackles and fumble recoveries. \nAn artistic gymnast\, Richardson competed for Canada at the 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens Olympics\, resulting in a 15th all-around (in Sydney) and 7th place showing in floor exercise (in Athens). At Athens she became the first Canadian woman to qualify for an event final. The diminutive dynamo was a member of the Canadian team from 1996 to 2004\, placing 16th all-around at the 2001 world championships. Her international star beamed in 2002\, when the Coquitlam native won the 2002 Commonwealth Games all-around title\, taking gold on balance beam. She was a multiple NCAA individual event champion as a member of the UCLA Bruins’ women’s artistic gymnastics team. \nSelf’s passage into the world of track and field came naturally\, as the Coquitlam native is the daughter of Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame member Percy Perry (deceased) and Wilma Perry. In a span of 10 years\, Self competed for Canada in every major sprinting championship\, including at the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. At the 1999 world championships she was a key member of Canada’s 6th place finish in the 4×100 relay\, finished 4th at the World University Games in the women’s 100 metre\, and was Canadian junior and Canada Games champion\, while placing top-three 10 times at the senior national championships. She continues to share her passion for track and field by coaching athletes at the Coquitlam Cheetahs Track and Field Club at Town Centre. \nAs a builder\, Bennett spearheaded the growth of soccer in Canada at nearly every level. An accomplished player who was among one of the first Vancouver Whitecaps\, Bennett made a smooth transition to the coaching side and skippered the national under-20 men’s team to the CONCACAF title in 1996\, which saw Canada shock Mexico in Mexico City. That team would advance out of the group stage at the FIFA world championships the next year before falling to Spain in the playoffs. Bennett took on the Vancouver women’s Whitecaps coaching duties in 2004 and directed them to a North American title. He has also played an instrumental role in his adopted hometown of Coquitlam\, working with various club teams and programs over the years. \nIn hockey circles\, the name Ernie ‘Punch’ McLean is legendary. A prospector\, business owner and talent scout – McLean’s reputation as a true character of the game was forged through a lengthy resume of accomplishments. One of the original founders of the current Western Hockey League\, McLean survived a plane crash in 1971 and within a year moved his hockey club from Estevan to New Westminster\, settling himself in Coquitlam. His hockey teams soon built a reputation and a fierce record during the rough-and-tumble 1970s. McLean’s Bruins would set a record in qualifying for four straight Memorial Cup championships\, capturing the junior title in 1977 and 1978. Among the players he prepared for future fame in the NHL were Brad Maxwell\, Stan Smyl and Ron Greschner. \nThe Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame will honour the newest class of inductees\, along with a group of teams and individuals for its annual Wall of Fame recipients\, on June 16\, 2016\, at the Coquitlam Sports and Leisure Centre (633 Poirier St.). For information on the induction ceremonies or to purchase tickets to attend the evening gala\, email info@coquitlamshof.com. Wall of Fame winners will be announced next week. \nFor more information\, contact Lois McNary\, CSHOF president (l.mcnary@coquitlamshof.com) or Les Wingrove\, CSHOF vice-president (l.wingrove@coquitlamshof.com).

SUMMARY:Hall of Fame inductees 2015
DESCRIPTION:COQUITLAM\, BC – Champions and competitors\, the latest Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame inductees have reached the pinnacle in their respective sports\, as athletes and builders. Greg Moore (auto racing)\, Brit Townsend (track and field)\, the Blue Mountain 1981 girls soccer club teams\, Lawrence Vea (builder – school sports) and Les Wilson (builder – soccer) will become the newest members of the Hall\, inducted at a gala event at the Coquitlam Sports and Leisure Centre on June 18th. \nGreg Moore (auto racing) – The Coquitlam-raised Moore developed his interest in the auto-racing sports world while watching Westwood racing in the city\, and became a quick study on the kart-racing circuit as a teen. In 1991 Moore moved up to the Formula Ford cars and established himself as a rising star by being voted the Esso Protec Formula Ford 1600 Rookie of the Year. At the age of 18\, Moore would become the youngest Indy Lights winner\, finishing first at the 1994 season opener. A year later he dominated the circuit\, topping 10 of the 12 events. Passionate about his sport\, the 22-year-old recorded his first Cart World Series racing win in his sophomore season. Well-liked by fans and his fellow racers\, Moore would win five Cart races and finish second six times over his four year career\, before dying tragically in the final race of the 1999 season. An annual trophy named for Moore is presented on the IndyCar Series to the racer who exemplifies outstanding talent on track\, as well as displaying a dynamic personality with fans\, media\, and within the CART community. He was inducted posthumously into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2000. While he spent his later teen and young adult life in Maple Ridge\, Moore’s roots and racing legacy all began as a young boy in Coquitlam. \nBrit Townsend (track and field) – Born in Denmark\, Townsend would make her mark in track and field. Holding various Canadian records in seven different events\, the five-foot-10 Simon Fraser University athlete turned her focus on the middle distances\, where she secured her spot on the national team. Townsend captured the women’s 1500-metre bronze at the 1983 Pan American Games with a personal best time of 4:03.36. From there she represented Canada at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984\, placing seventh. She qualified to compete at the 1988 Olympics as well\, but was unable to attend due to injury. Over the past 20 years she has guided the next level of national and international champions as the track and field coach at Simon Fraser University\, with athletes achieving excellence at the national\, NAIA and international stages\, including for Canada. \nTEAMS\nThe Coquitlam Blue Mountain 1981 girls soccer club teams – Three teams – the Rangers\, the Devils and the Royals were at the forefront of an important step for girls soccer in 1981. For the first time in the Vancouver Sun soccer tournament history\, girls were invited to compete in 1981. The Sun tourney at the time functioned as a minor soccer provincial championship with the winners featured prominently in the pages of the newspaper. The Coquitlam club made a bold statement that year\, sweeping three of the top divisions: the Rangers won Div. 1\, the Devils took Div. 2\, and the Royals captured Div. 3. The first-ever Sun Soccer Girl\, recognizing the tournament’s top girls player\, was the Rangers’ Jane Norman\, with the Royals’ Karen Daws the runner-up. The Blue Mountain troupe would also fill out half the all-star team. The sweep by the Coquitlam club was an instrumental part in the acknowledgment that girls soccer was deserving of serious consideration and strong representation in both time and funding. \nBUILDERS\nLawrence Vea (school sports) – for more than 30 years\, Vea has taken a lead role in inspiring\, coaching and encouraging youth and teens in the Tri-Cities to lead active lives. He taught and coached at a number of local schools\, including Maillard Middle (then Junior Secondary)\, where he was a member of the inaugural staff. He was the program’s Athletic Director for 18 years\, coaching volleyball (eight district and three Fraser Valley champions)\, girls basketball (two district champions)\, golf and track and field. Many of his athlete-students pursued athletics and/or coaching in their collegiate and post-secondary careers. As the Fraser Valley girls basketball coach\, Vea skippered the squad to a provincial gold medal at the 1989 BC Games. For his coaching and dedication\, Vea was awarded the B.C. School Sports coach of the year award in 2006 and the BC School Sports merit award in 2007. His organizational work was vital to the district’s scheduling\, of which many of his playoff and scheduling formats are still being used today\, nearly 10 years after his retirement from teaching. \nLes Wilson (soccer) – Soccer in Canada has benefited greatly from the skills and dedication of Coquitlam’s Les Wilson. Born in Manchester\, England\, Wilson arrived in Canada at the age of six and developed a talent and passion for the sport in the Lower Mainland. An accomplished pro player\, it was as a coach and manager where Wilson helped put Canada on the soccer map. As manager of the Canadian national team he played an integral role in major international accomplishments for the men’s side\, including in 1984 with the Olympic team and 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico\, and the women at the 1999 World Cup. He was on board when Canada shocked the soccer world with a victory at the 2000 CONCACAF championships. Wilson would also play instrumental roles\, including as an owner\, with the Vancouver 86ers\, which won four Canadian Soccer League titles from 1986 to 1994\, and the Vancouver Whitecaps\, as both player and manager. His involvement also saw him provide his energies at the grassroots level. Wilson has been inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame a total of six times\, including originally in the builder’s category\, and with various teams. \nThe Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame gala on Thursday July 18th will also celebrate the 2015 Wall of Fame annual recipients: Jovan Blagojevic (university male\, soccer); Sherilyn Chong (junior female\, speed skating); Soobin Kim (university female\, golf); Nestor Lin (junior male\, badminton); Mandy Manzardo (disabled athlete); Samantha McIlwrick (high school girls\, field hockey); Graham Miller (high school male\, basketball); Dave Parsons (volunteer\, curling); Kevin Reynolds (senior male\, figure skating); Jessie Sanderson (senior female\, curling); Barry Wolff (coach\, hockey)\, and the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Spartans (team\, boys soccer). Doors open at 6:00 pm\, coffee and desserts served at 6:30 pm\, and the celebration begins at 7 p.m.\, at the Coquitlam Sports and Leisure Centre\, 633 Poirier Street). For information on the ceremony or to purchase tickets for the event\, email info@coquitlamshof.com. Tickets are also available at the door for $10.

SUMMARY:Hall of Fame Inductees
DESCRIPTION:COQUITLAM\, BC – The Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame is proud to induct an illustrious group of athletes and sports contributors to its membership roll in 2014: athletes Bill Bradley\, Pat Philley and Gail Sayers\, and in the builder category\, Brian Lewis and Bill Mitchell. This year’s athletic inductees come from a variety of sports\, but share excellence in accomplishment. \nBradley’s achievements on the lacrosse floor could fill a few nets and then some. The Burnaby native joined the Coquitlam Adanacs in their inaugural season in 1965 and quickly established himself as one of the go-to players on a roster that some initially considered to be boxla castoffs. The players proved their detractors wrong by establishing the Adanac brand as one to be feared\, with Bradley’s defensive prowess setting the tone. In just its second season\, Coquitlam would top the Inter-City league (predecessor to the Western Lacrosse Association). Despite a reputation as a defensive pillar and physical force\, Bradley would go on to accumulate 376 goals and 561 assists over 498 senior lacrosse games with various clubs. In Coquitlam\, he posted 641 points in 295 games\, putting him seventh among all-time Adanac scorers. A seven-time first-team all-star\, Bradley would be inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1987. \nPhilley was one of community’s early sports heroes\, having earned a spot on the Canadian national soccer team in the mid-1950s. Playing alongside brother Brian\, Philley served as Canada’s captain in World Cup qualifiers in 1957\, including a 5-1 victory over the United States in Toronto\, and a pair of losses to Mexico in Mexico City. The win over the US came in Canada’s first FIFA World qualifier match\, with Philley scoring one of the goals. Prior to that\, he was a prominent member of the Vancouver City team that won the Canadian Challenge Cup in 1950\, beating Winnipeg 4-1 and 4-0 in the final. Philley would be a two-time member of the BC All-Stars against such legendary clubs as Rangers FC (in 1954)\, Huddersfield Town (1955)\, Aberdeen FC and Lokomotiv Moscow (1956)\, and Tottenham Hotspur(1957). He became a member of Canada’s Soccer Hall of Fame in 2004. \nSayers was a standout player as a teenager at Centennial Secondary\, and continued that as a member of the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball program during the mid-70s\, earning the school’s Athlete of the Year award in both 1976 and 1977. During her time on Burnaby Mountain (under her maiden name\, Gail Klaver)\, Sayers established a new school scoring record of 2\,537. She also established a school mark in rebounds\, with 1\,385\, which still stands today. She would go on to be a key member of Canada’s national basketball team during the late-1970s. Her accomplishments in Clan colours earned her a spot in the SFU Sports Hall of Fame. Sayers recently capped a 33-year teaching career in District 43\, spending a great deal of that time inspiring students to be physically active. \nThe list of athletes is complemented by two inspirational sports leaders who volunteers and engineers programs that created opportunities for Coquitlam youth. \nLewis volunteered thousands of hours during a lengthy teaching career at Banting Middle and Gleneagle Secondary schools\, crafting field hockey programs at both institutions. After studying the success of other school districts\, in 2000 he founded the Tri-City Eagles Field Club and began the tough task of building a program which could provide local youth – and adults – an opportunity to experience and develop in the sport. He and a dedicated group of volunteers guided the club from a handful of teams in the beginning to now approximately 500 players\, from four- year olds to adults. Numerous local players have gone on to pursue the sport at the provincial\, national and collegiate levels \, while others have been inspired to give back by helping coach the more than 26 Eagles teams\, thanks to the program established by Lewis. \nMitchell played an instrumental role in Canada’s wrestling program during the period of 1969-89. A former Canadian Football League player and a long-time teacher at Centennial Secondary\, Mitchell founded the BC-Japan Cultural exchange program that saw wrestlers from BC and Japan gain from cultural and athletic encounters. He was also director of BC Wrestling Association and the president of the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association\, while coaching and managing national teams at World\, Pan Am and Olympic competitions. He is a member of various Hall of Fames\, including the Canadian Amateur Wrestlng (1992) and Ontario Sports Hall of Fames. \nThe Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame will honour the newest class of inductees\, along with a group of teams and individuals for its annual Wall of Fame recipients\, at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday June 19th\, 2014\, at the Coquitlam Sports and Leisure Centre (633 Poirier St.).

SUMMARY:2012 - Hall of Fame Inductees
DESCRIPTION:OQUITLAM\, BC – The 2012 Class of Inductees into the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame represent a variety of sports and accomplishments. The one unifying factor is that each of these honourees represented Coquitlam with distinction. On Thursday\, June 21\, 2012 at the Poirier Sports Centre\, the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame will welcome the following new members in the Athlete/Team category: \nATHLETE/TEAM \nGail Harvey Moore had established an impressive golfing resume by the age of 15\, when she won the first of three straight Canadian junior championship titles. In 1961\, Harvey Moore placed second at both the Canadian Ladies Amateur and Canadian Closed championship. She also represented Canada in a number of international competitions. A near-fatal car crash in 1969 slowed Harvey Moore down\, but didn’t stop her. She recovered to win both the B.C. and Canadian Amateur women’s titles in 1970. She passed away in 1993. \nAs a student at then Como Lake High School\, Neil Godin brought home a handful of medals from successive Canadian Senior Gymnastics championships in gymnastics\, trampoline and tumbling. His feats on the trampoline began to attract attention in Maillardville when Our Lady of Lourdes gym team was established in 1950. Starting as a 12-year-old at the 1954 nationals\, he won a number of national titles\, while recorded a couple of Canadian firsts – including the first Canadian to perform the triple-twisting back somersault. He qualified for the Pan Am Games. Godin would later coach the national team. \nNorm McLeod was a member of Canada’s first-ever World Cup soccer team\, scoring the nation’s first goal in the tournament. As an 18-year-old\, he was a member of the national team that toured the Soviet Union in 1960. McLeod\, who played four times for Canada\, was also a dominating force on the provincial soccer scene. As a member of the B.C. All-Star team\, McLeod put the provincial squad on the map – including a vaunted win over touring Tottenham Hotspur. He was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005\, as well as the B.C. Softball Hall of Fame. \nThe 2001 Coquitlam Adanacs achieved the ultimate in senior A box lacrosse with its Mann Cup national title victory at the PNE Coliseum. After finishing the regular season 12-8\, the squad rolled in the playoffs and won the B.C. title. In the Mann Cup championship against the Brampton Excelsiors\, it appeared the Adanacs had met their match. Led by MVP Andy Ogilivie\, the club overcame a four-goal deficit in the third period of Game Seven to claim it’s first and only national title on Colin Doyle’s goal with 35 seconds left in regulation. \nBUILDERS \nWilliam Azzi’s name has become synonymous with soccer in B.C. Involved as a coach and volunteer with the old Cape Horn association\, Azzi was a founding member of the Metro-Ford Soccer Club in 1984. The club\, under Azzi’s guidance\, became a dominating force on both the youth and senior soccer levels\, resulting in 26 provincial champions and four national champions. \nDon Cunnings’ involvement in sports in Coquitlam started as a coach at Our Lady of Lourdes\, when he formed a gymnastics team that produced numerous medals at national and international competitions. In 1964 he was elected vice president of the Canadian Association of Physical Education\, Health Education and Recreation. As the city’s director of parks and recreation\, Cunnings was a key promoter of Coquitlam’s bid to host the 1991 BC Summer Games\, resulting in a number of legacy facilities. \nLois McNary heard an advertisement in 1983 for a job position with the Special Olympics in BC and made it her cause. The Coquitlam native started as a volunteer and helped establish a Special Olympics Coquitlam branch. She’s filled numerous roles and postings with Special Olympics BC\, currently servicing as vice president\, sports. McNary is also a founding member of the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame. \nThis is the third annual Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremonies\, where members of the Hall and annual Wall honourees (who will be announced in a preceding press release) will come together to receive their well-deserved awards.

After a debilitating illness forced her out of the pool\, she pursued excellence in the sport as a coach. She became Canada’s first Level 5 synchro coach\, and served as Team Canada’s head coach from 2006 to 2008. During her years as a coach\, she has helped many high performance athletes make the national team. \nGordon Welbourne (Baseball) – Upon moving to Coquitlam in 1967\, Welbourne got involved with the local Babe Ruth League. He served as coach from 1968 to 1982 at Blue Mountain Park\, served as president of the Coquitlam association for two years\, and then stepped forward to take on similar roles at the provincial level until 2000\, when he was elected commissioner of the Pacific Northwest Regional Babe Ruth League. As a coach\, Welbourne has skippered his squads to a then-record three league championships in a row\, and four provincial championships (1973\, 1977\, 1995\, 1997). \nLes Wingrove (Lacrosse) – In over 40 years as a coach and/or manager\, Les Wingrove has promoted skill development and good sportsmanship.

He has managed and coached at both the junior and senior Adanac levels\, including a Mann Cup championship in 2001\, and a handful of other Minto Cup and Mann Cup appearances. In 2003\, he was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in the builder category. \nTEAMS\nCentennial Centaurs 1966 Football Team – As the school was transitioning from Como Lake to its new site on Poirier Street\, the football team trained towards its first-ever provincial championship. Preparing to face powerhouse Vancouver College\, the Centaurs headed south and played a Washington State rival\, suffering their first and only loss of the season. That result\, however\, helped inspire the team onward as they bested Vancouver College and earned a berth to the first-ever Shrine Bowl\, where they topped Killarney 14-0 at Nat Bailey Stadium. \nCoquitlam Senior Adanacs 1980 World Nations champions – In the only Nations Cup box lacrosse championship\, the local Adanacs rose above a tough group of opponents to cart off the crown. The Adanacs edged out the North American Natives in a nationally televised game at Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum.
