Leaside Sports Hall of Fame will honour its 2014 inductees on Friday, November 21, 2014 at the Leaside Arena and the public is invited to join the events. The speaker will be Toronto Argos CEO Chris Rudge. The event will also honour speed skater and Athlete of the Year Ayanna Badali. Ayanna is seen above at high velocity and the inset portrait shot. Among the inductees are Joe “King” Krol (left above). As Wikipedia reminds us, Krol was an Argo quarterback, running back, defensive back, and kicker of the 40s and 50s. He was possibly the most versatile player in Canadian football history as a triple-threat to pass, run and kick. Krol also famously known as a “Gold Dust Twin” for his teamwork with Royal Copeland. Also among the inductees, the late Jack Caffery (1934-1992) of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, Christine Pellerin, hockey official, coach, athlete and member of the Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association and Dr. Sidney Soanes who at the age of 92 can look back on his accomplishments as founder of the Leaside Skating Club. The tickets are $25 and there is more information at their website
