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.

Pedlars Softball Team 1948 & 1949

More about Pedlars Softball Team 1948 & 1949:
One of the most successful seasons in Oshawa's softball history came in 1948 when the Pedlar's Softball Team captured the Ontario Intermediate A championship from Sault Ste. Marie at Oshawa's Alexandra Park.  This indeed was a fitting result to celebrate Oshawa's 25th anniversary in O.A.S.A. ranks.  In 1949 the name Oshawa again appears in the O.A.S.A. list of champions when the Pedlar's Team successfully defended the All-Ontario Intermediate against North Bay, where all three games were played.  The Pedlar's Team of 1948, 1949 brought great honour to the City and is worthy of induction into the Sports Hall of Fame.
