The Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame Annual Induction Ceremony takes place Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014 at the Victoria Inn and the sport of football is well represented.
One individual and one team with ties to football will be part of this year's induction class. They are:
AL KINLEY Baseball & Football/Builder:
A founding board member and long-time coach for the Elmwood Giants Baseball Club, Kinley served Baseball Manitoba in several capacities. In football he coached at St. John’s High School, Maples Collegiate, and the University of Manitoba. He’s also known as a key founder of the East Side Eagles. An accomplished athlete in his own right, Kinley has spent almost 50 years giving back to sport.
1988 Winnipeg Blue Bombers Football/Team
It had been four years since the Winnipeg Blue Bombers captured the Grey Cup championship in 1984. Playing out of the West Division, the Bombers finished second in the East with a mediocre 9-9 record. They defeated the Hamilton Tiger Cats 35-28 in the Eastern semi-final and then beat the heavily favoured Toronto Argonauts (14-4) by a score of 27-11 to win the Eastern final. The 76th Grey Cup was held in Lansdowne Park in Ottawa and the Bombers won a tight game over the BC Lions by a score of 22-21. It would be the franchise’s ninth Grey Cup title.
