During an evening of entertaining boxing that followed a three course meal at the Royal Canadian Legion on Friday, October 22nd, Boxing Newfoundland and Labrador inducted three new members to its Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was introduced last year after a number of years of planning, and seven members were initially inducted. The three new members now provide a total of 10 members to Boxing NL’s illustrious Hall.
Boxing NL President Hank Summers introduced the three inductees and read a brief history of their boxing careers. Brian Bambrick, Jason Hayward, and Blair Tobin, three former athletes that had tremendous boxing careers, were presented with their Hall of Fame Certificates by guest speaker Tom Osborne, the Minister of Education for the Government of NL. The three athletes were given a standing ovation by the packed house following a short address by each of them.
