2009 Induction Dinner Photos

The Masked Man from Penetanguishene

There has been a lot of press lately about the famous goaltending legend Jacques Plante and his donning of his first goalie mask fifty years ago on November 1st, 1959, after receiving a cut to his face in a game against New York. To be sure, it was a momentous occasion in the annals of goaltending and hockey. It literally changed the face of the game and goaltenders world-wide owe their thanks to “Jake-the-snake” as Plante became known. But unbeknownst to local hockey fans, Penetanguishene had its own pioneer in the mask-making business. Read full article by Waxy Gregoire...

The PSHOF is extremely proud to congratulate Marilynne Bellisle "SENIOR VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR 2009".

Marilynne has played a big role in the success of the Penetanguishene Sports Hall of Fame gift shop, not only does she co-ordinates the staffing, she volunteers her own time as well.

She was able to handle this task with ease as she volunteered at the Penetanguishene General Hospital gift shop and worked extremely hard assisting with garage sales, penny raffles and numerous other fundraises to raise money for the hospital.

Back in 2001 Marilynne started her famous “Penny Raffles” at the Penetanguishene Winterama and these have continued on since then with everyone enjoying the fun.

Marilynne has been instrumental in a variety of fundraisers in our area, garage sales, M & M barbeques, tag days, silent auctions, charity fairs, “Le Dernion”, fashion shows, cash calendars, the sale of trees for the Annual Festival of Christmas trees and the list goes on.

She joined the Friends of Penetang Youth in 2000 and accepted the position of treasurer in 2002. She was part of this group when they raised $286 408. 58 and continues to volunteer with a variety of groups and organizations in our area.

Her family and many friends congratulate Marilynne on being selected for this very special award.

You have earned and deserve it.

for immediate press release

June 24th, 2009 - The Penetanguishene Sports Hall of Fame received 10 nominations from the general public by our May 31st deadline - the highest number ever received! What was even more impressive was the quality and thoroughness of the packages submitted in support of their nominees, as some were truly outstanding and gave the PSHOF committee great portraits of the nominees and invaluable historical information about them and their sport’s contribution. The nominators should be applauded for their fine efforts. The committee made two nominations on its own as well. The 2009 field of nominees were exceptional and indicate a rich and varied array of sporting life and accomplishments in and from Penetanguishene.
