Wheelchair Basketball Canada and the Canadian Paralympic Committee congratulate legendary wheelchair basketball bench boss Tim Frick who today became the first Paralympic coach ever to be inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. The 2014 Induction Celebrations were presented by Canadian Tire at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, Ont. As head coach of the Canadian Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team from 1990 to 2009, Frick, of Pender Island, B.C., developed Team Canada into one of the most dominant teams in the history of Canadian amateur sports. He led Canada to a decade-long undefeated streak in major international competition, including an unprecedented three consecutive Paralympic gold medals in 1992, 1996 and 2000; and four consecutive World Championship gold medals in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006. Frick’s teams also captured bronze medals at the 1990 World Championship and 2004 Paralympic Games. “It is a tremendous honour to be inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame as the first Paralympic coach, and it’s made even more special to be joining the two athletes who made my involvement in Paralympic sport possible, Rick Hansen and Terry Fox,” said Frick. “But really it was 19 plus years of dedicated athletes and staff, great assistant coaches and unwavering support from Wheelchair Basketball Canada and the Canadian Paralympic Committee that made our legacy possible. I wish I could thank every Team Canada player and supporter personally for a lifetime of wonderful friendships and magical experiences.” Frick, who is the world’s most successful wheelchair basketball coach of all-time, was joined on stage by two of his former athletes.
