University of Saskatchewan Athletics

Wall of Fame History

In the spring of 1907 the Saskatchewan Legislature approved the University Act creating the University of Saskatchewan. Since 1911, 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 allowed student-athletes the opportunity to compete at a high level for their university against other postsecondary 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 brought distinction to the University. 

The direction of the University of Saskatchewan Athletic Wall of Fame is to recognize those athletes, builders and teams that had great achievement in University sport, while with Huskie Athletics. Other local, provincial, national and international achievements will be looked upon, but are not considered for the main basis of induction.
