  • Finalists Release FINAL
    For immediate release And the finalists are . Sport Nova Scotia announces Ricoh Sport Award Finalists Halifax, NS (May 24, 2016) – National greats, provincial record-smashers and homegrown international champions were highlighted today, as Sport Nova Scotia announced the names of the finalists for the 2016 Ricoh Sport Awards. “We have an exciting group of finalists to highlight this year,” said Jamie Ferguson, CEO of Sport Nova Scotia. “Among them, we have a fourteen-year-old soccer phenom, a crowd-thrilling basketball team that ended a nearly 30-year drought, a Parapan Am Games gold medalist, and an Olympic veteran who is favoured to be on the podium in Rio. There are stories of obstacles for the best junior curlers on the planet, a soccer official who is one of only four female referees in Canada appointed to the FIFA referee list, and a 32 year-old top national gymnast who is only getting better with age.” The Ricoh Sport Awards recognize the achievements of Nova Scotia’s greatest athletes, teams, coaches, officials, and volunteers in amateur sport over the past year. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Ricoh’s title sponsorship. “Each of these nominees has already been selected by their provincial sport organization as the best in their sport. They have then come through a rigorous selection process where they are judged against the best from numerous other sports, and emerged on top,” says Ferguson. “They are the types of people who inspire us and, through their leadership, help build our sport system. Nova Scotians can be very proud of this group.” Over 180 selections were submitted by Provincial Sport Organizations.
