It is the role of the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame to ensure that these memories remain firmly engrained in our hearts and minds and that time will not diminish the nature of our legends’ deeds for generations to come. The Hall of Fame was established in 1994 by Bruce Prentice, following a 15-year tenure as founder and president of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. The inaugural class of honoured members was inducted in 1994. Each year, the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame honours recipients of the Brian Williams Media Award, the Sandy Hawley Community Service Award, the Bruce Prentice Legacy Award and the Syl Apps, Ontario Athlete of the Year Award. For the past five years, the Syl Apps, Ontario Athlete of the Year Award has been selected by the people of Ontario in a public online vote.
