The Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1980 to preserve, celebrate and showcase the history and heritage of sport excellence and achievement in Manitoba. The categories include Athlete, Builder, Athlete/Builder, and Team. To be considered, the person must be born in Manitoba or resided in Manitoba during the period for which outstanding performance or contributions are claimed.
There was no induction class in 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
