Athletes Amanda Asay, Kenny Lally and Megan Tandy and coach/builders Edna Stitt and Joe Rea are this year’s inductees into the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame.
They will join a select group of 83 previous inductees into the Hall at a banquet set for Saturday, April 6, at the Ramada Plaza Hotel.
Asay, who died in a skiing accident in January 2022, was a multisport star who played on the women’s national baseball team for 17 years, while also excelling as an NCAA hockey and softball player.
Lally was a boxer and current coach with the Inner City Boxing Club who won 11 provincial championships, seven national titles and fought internationally in his 14-year career.
Tandy, a product of the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club, climbed the national biathlon team ranks and went on to compete in 108 World Cup events from 2008-2019. She represented Canada at three Olympics, in 2010, 2014 and 2018.
Rea, an accomplished provincial-level curler, coached Canada’s wheelchair curling team to three consecutive Paralympic gold medals, winning in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
Stitt, a former hockey/fastball player, continues to fuel her lifetime passion for sports as a dedicated volunteer timekeeper/scorekeeper in hockey and baseball.
The five were chosen from a list of 16 submissions sent to the nominating committee.
Fourteen young athletes will also receive Rising Star awards that night. Those names will be announced later this month.
