The Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum is a revered institution in Winnipeg, honouring the rich history of hockey in the province since 1985. The Hall of Fame encourages nominations for induction from the public, with categories including Player, Builder, Official, Media, Grassroots, Team, and Dynasty Program. Inductees must have a connection to Manitoba and have excelled at various levels of the sport.
The first group of inductees in 1985 was significant to recognize the achievements of Manitoba players, coaches, builders, and teams. Since then, the Hall of Fame has added to its honour roll every second year, celebrating the contributions of individuals and teams to the sport. The Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum is located within the Scotiabank/Hockey For All Centre and features an interactive display showcasing the history and success stories of hockey in Manitoba.
Visitors to the Hall of Fame can explore introductions to all Honoured Members and learn about the impact of hockey in the province. The Hall of Fame also maintains a video display at the Canada Life Centre, home of the NHL Winnipeg Jets and AHL Manitoba Moose, along with a Wall of Fame photo gallery in the Canad Inns Polo Park. Nominations for the next induction class are currently open, and a nomination form with guidelines is available for download on the Hall of Fame's website.
