Operation: Canadian amateur boxing wall of fame

CANADIAN AMATEUR BOXING HALL OF FAME: by brian zelley

Introduction:
*At the present time, Boxing Canada has their own hall of fame,
but it is active insiders that are involved with the process.
Also, past selected members are not widely known to the
current followers or participants of amateur boxing.

Background:
After 25 years when it was first suggested in British Columbia,
the British Columbia Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame became
a reality in 2010.  In recent months, after three selection periods
there are now 41 inductees and the process for 2013 has already
begun and as of today, there are five nominees to-date for the
2013 selection process including: 
Builders: Dick St. Louis and Ed Williams, 
Boxers: Derrick Hoyt and Gordie Lawson, and
Junior/Youth Boxing: Mickey Griffin
*Others are expected to be nominated over the next few months.

Ontario Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame:
In recent days, Ontario has selected 18 inductees for the first
year, and all other nominees plus additional nominees have
been forwarded  for consideration in 2013.

A Canadian First Nations Hall of Fame:
*A recent site FIRST NATION BOXING HISTORY site has been
established with hopes that there will be a wall or hall of fame
in 2013.

CANADIAN AMATEUR BOXING WALL OF FAME
*Steps will be taken to determine if past and present
members of Canadian Amateur Boxing would support
and be part of a group to set-up a site that will
serve as a starting point for a CABWOF.
