Hall Of Fame Magazine
The changing face of Canadian sport will be in the spotlight, on October 25, 2007, at a gala dinner in Toronto, with the induction of six athletes and two builders into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
Hockey's Mike Bossy and Cassie Campbell, pro football's Doug Flutie, Olympic wrestler Daniel Igali, cross-country skiing Olympian Beckie Scott and Major League Baseball's Larry Walker, enter the Sports Hall as athletes. Sport pioneers Sam Jacks and Dr. Robert Steadward will be entering as builders.
Doug Flutie, pro football's Little Engine That Could, won U.S. college football's Heisman Trophy in 1984 and found a home in Canadian football in 1991.

Doug is the first non-Canadian to be inducted into the Sports Hall.
