Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame - Our Mission

The objective of the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame is to recognize and honour the achievements of Oshawa individuals and teams who have attained prominence and distinction in sports as well as those who have made a major contribution to the development of sport.

Located inside the Tribute Communities Centre, the Sports Hall of Fame plaques and citations are displayed on the main level walls. The 3600 square foot Museum housing artifacts, memorabilia and photographs is also located on this level at the west end behind Section 119. The new Museum location opened officially in the spring of 2008.

Terry was born in 1931 in Toronto,educated at Saint Malachy's College in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the University of New Brunswick and called to the Bar in 1953. Since establishing his practice in Oshawa, Terry has taken a leadership role in the development of a number of community projects, including the Civic Auditorium Complex and Founding Chairman of Oshawa's Sports Hall of Fame.  Terry has chaired countless committees which have served Oshawa's cultural, humanitarian and sporting life.  No cause or project is too small for Terry to lend his support.  The awarding of the Centennial Medal (1967), the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal (1977), the Ontario Bicentennial Medal (1984), the 125th Commemorative Canada Medal (1992) and an Honorary Doctor of Laws, University of New Brunswick (1994) are testimony to Terry's leadership qualities.   Terry continues today as a Director of Maple Leaf Gardens, the Oshawa Generals and as a Governor of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. Oshawa and its citizens have benefited from Terry's vision and determination.  He certainly typifies the slogan "Let's build it ourselves for ourselves".
