WHSFL Hall of Fame induction to feature St. John's greats
St. John's is looking for football stars.
The St. John's Tigers are one of the original teams in the WHSFL (Winnipeg High School Football League) having taken part since the first season in 1933.
It is a team that has included names like Lou Adelman, Rube Ludwig, and CFL players like Dr. Norman Hill, Ted Milian and Chris Walby. There are many hundreds of former players out there that we want to hear from.
In June of 2010, the school will be celebrating 100 years in North Winnipeg, and the football team wants to do something special to honour its past.
During the reunion weekend (June 17-20) there will be a special WHSFL Hall of Fame induction to feature St. John's greats. We need the help of family and friends of former players to find candidates for admission to the Hall. If you have someone in mind, please email Brian Marks, head coach of the Tigers at bmarks@wsd1.org.
