UofS Athletic Wall of Fame
Athletic Wall of Fame History
In the spring of 1907 the Saskatchewan Legislature approved the
University Act creating the University of Saskatchewan. The intial
classes were held in the Drinkle Building in downtown Saskatoon in
September 1909. The history of sport at the University of Saskatchewan
extends back to that inaugural academic year with the formation of
inter-college competition and the appearance of a varsity hockey team.
In
subsequent years as the permanent campus developed, so too did the
number of interuniversity sports teams with which student-athletes could
compete. Through the years student-athletes at the University of
Saskatchewan have competed in more than 20 sports, including badminton,
basketball, bowling, boxing, cross country, running, curling, diving,
fencing, field hockey, football, golf, gymnastics, hockey, rugby,
soccer, swimming, tennis, track & field, volleyball, water polo and
wrestling.
The University's "varsity" teams, named Huskies in
1932, have afforded student-athletes with the opportunity to compete at
ahigh level for their university against other post secondary
institutions in Western Canada and across the country. Huskie Athletics
has provided hundreds of students with the opportunity to develop their
personal and professional knowledge and life skills with elite athletic
competition to become well-rounded student-athletes. 
The
University of Saskatchewan Athletic Wall of Fame provides recognition to
those outstanding individuals and teams, who have not only demonstrated
excellence in their athletic endeavours, but also have brough
distinction to the University.
These exceptional individuals have
been selected by the Wall of Fame selection committee after having met
the criteria for their specific category - athlete, builder or team.
Wall of Fame inductions have happened in 1984, 1987, 1994, 2001, 2007 and 2011.
