    It is so great to see the Halifax Junior Canadiens hockey team being inducted after 59 years since they first started in the Halifax Form. My brother, Fraser Rice, played for this team for 3 years and when on to play in the Eastern Hockey League. Congratulations to all the players of these teams

    Happy to see the Halifax Junior Canadians 1965 and 1966 included in this induction ceremony. Bobby Sheehan is part of my family, he is calling me every few days about the induction and reuniting with his team mates; he is so excited. Looking forward to Oct. 16.

    So nice to see Bob Sawler being recognized, at last, for all his work with rowing in Nova Scotia, the Maritimes, and across Canada over many years. A fine fellow he is!!
