Class of 2006 Jonathon Power Acceptance Speech |
Scope & Content |
Length: 1:54 The 2006 Canada's Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at the Royal York Hotel and Convention Centre. Summary: Jonathon Power accepted his induction with humour, admitting he had a great joke prepared but blanked under the pressure of the moment. He spoke warmly about the essential role his family played in his career, especially his wife, whom he met in a chance encounter 14 years prior and described as a key part of his journey. While unable to thank everyone individually, he expressed deep appreciation to all who contributed to his success. He ended on a playful note, warning guests not to mistake the squash balls on their tables for chocolates. |
