OTTAWA — Decorated ice dance duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir and mixed martial arts star Georges St-Pierre were among the 2023 inductees named to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday.
Randy Ferbey's curling team, wheelchair basketball player Danielle Peers and softball player Phyllis Bomberry will also be inducted as athletes, with judo coach Hiroshi Nakamura and lacrosse pioneer Oren Lyons joining them as builders.
Ice dancers Virtue of London, Ont., and Moir of Ilderton, Ont., won two Olympic gold medals and one silver as well as three world titles during their career. Peers challenged gender divisions by playing with the 2005 USA Men’s Division II National Champions and becoming the first female tournament MVP of the European men's club championship in 2006.
The team encompasses players from both Canada and the United States. Lyons has advocated for Indigenous rights in sport and the world at the United Nations. It has continued to operate virtually and embarked on a national outreach campaign that included bringing the Hall into school classrooms.
