Class of 1993 Cindy Nicholas Acceptance Speech |
Scope & Content |
Length: 0:44 The 1993 Canada's Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at the Royal York Hotel and Convention Centre. Summary: Cindy Nicholas shared a touching story about how her induction came to be, recounting a moment from a year earlier when she and her partner Ray were listening to the Hall of Fame ceremony in the car. Ray had asked how someone gets into the Hall, and she replied that you have to be nominated—unbeknownst to her, he went ahead and nominated her. Thanks to his effort and the selection committee’s decision, she stood there that night, honoured and grateful. She thanked Ray sincerely, expressing her hope to share the next 50 years with him, and closed by saying the induction was truly a dream come true. |
