Scope & Content |
Length: 5:29 The 2007 Canada's Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at the Royal York Hotel and Convention Centre. Summary: Cassie Campbell-Pascall began her speech by warmly thanking George Cohen for presenting her with the Hall of Fame jacket, noting her long-standing relationship with McDonald’s and other sponsors throughout her Olympic journey. She expressed deep admiration for her fellow inductees, especially her fellow Olympians, and admitted to being humbled by the company she was joining. Campbell reflected on her childhood love for hockey, never imagining it could lead to such opportunities for a female athlete. Representing women’s hockey, she said, has been one of her greatest privileges, honouring the trailblazers and captains who came before her.She shared heartfelt thanks to the many people who shaped her career—from her Hockey Night in Canada colleagues who welcomed her into broadcasting, to her teammates on club and national teams, and to Hockey Canada for its unwavering support of the women’s game. Campbell then turned to her family, speaking emotionally about the lessons in character, hard work, and kindness she learned from her parents and stepmother. She fondly recalled her brother’s relentless backyard training sessions, her aunt and uncle’s influence through countless pond hockey games, and her father-in-law’s thoughtful feedback on her broadcasts. She closed with gratitude to her husband for his love and understanding, emphasizing that while the induction was a personal honour, it was an even greater one for women’s hockey as a whole. |
