Hockey Hall of Fame

edit
 
James T. Sutherland

In 1941, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) appointed a committee to write a history of hockey in Canada, led by James T. Sutherland, including W. A. Hewitt and Quebec hockey executive George Slater.[1][2] In 1943, the committee concluded that hockey had been played in Canada since 1855, and that Kingston and Halifax had equal claims to be the birthplace of hockey, since both cities hosted games played by the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment. The report also stated that Kingston had the first recognized hockey league in 1885, which merged into the Ontario Hockey Association in 1890.[3][4] A delegation from Kingston then went to the CAHA general meeting in 1943, and was endorsed to establish a Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston.[2]

In September 1943, Hewitt was named to the board of directors for selecting inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and sought recommendations by sportswriters from The Canadian Press and the Associated Press.[5] He was named chairman and secretary of the board of governors in 1944,[6] and the CAHA agreed to donate 25 per cent of its profits from the 1945–46 season to help erect a building for the hall of fame.[7] In May 1945, Hewitt announced that nine players were the first group of inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.[8] In October 1945, a special committee chosen by the board of governors named six "builders of hockey" to be added to the inaugural group of inductees.[9]

The Hockey Hall of Fame committee was incorporated in 1948, and elected an additional seven to its board of governors to give representation to a broader area.[10] Hewitt remained on the board of governors until 1950.[11] By September 1955, a building for the hall of fame had not been constructed in Kingston, when a group of businessmen from Toronto were given approval for a hall of fame building which opened at Exhibition Place in Toronto in 1961. A separate International Hockey Hall of Fame later opened in Kingston in 1965.[2]

Anatolii Ivanovich Brezvin (Ukrainian: Анатолій Івановича Брезвін) (born 8 January 1956) is a Ukrainian ice hockey administrator.

  • The Paul Loicq Award goes to Anatolii Brezvin, who was the president of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine for 14 years (2006-2020). Under his leadership the country built or revitalized 20 indoor arenas and developed its hockey program internationally by hosting IIHF events, and domestically with the creation of grassroots for the game. Brezvin continued hockey's role in the community during the current war-torn years.[1]
  • Anatolii Ivanovich Brezvin (Ukrainian: Анатолій Івановича Брезвін) Honorary President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine Anatoliy Brezvin will receive from the International Ice Hockey Federation the highest annual distinction, the Paul Loicq Award, an award presented annually by the IIHF to a figure who has made "outstanding contributions to the IIHF and international hockey." The Paul Loicq Award is the highest personal recognition given by the world's governing body for ice hockey. The award is presented during the annual IIHF Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Ukrinform reports. Anatoly Brezvin was the President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine for 14 years (2006-2020), but his activities for the benefit of the development of Ukrainian hockey are not limited to this framework. Under the leadership of Brezvin, about 20 indoor arenas have been built or restored in Ukraine, 17 world championships have been held in different age categories. Thanks to Brezvin's efforts, the mass play of hockey in Ukraine has increased significantly. "It's incredible, but Brezvin has managed to highlight the role of hockey in society even in the current war-torn years, which is a great achievement in itself," Andrew Podnieks said.[2]
  • Anatolii BREZVIN (UKR). Paul Loicq Award. Born Holoby, Ukraine, 8 January 1956. President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine from 2006 to 2020, Anatolii Brezvin almost single-handedly created a hockey program and environment that would be the envy of any country. His ambition was enormous, and his ability to meet his lofty goals changed the culture of the sport in his country. Thanks to his determination, Brezvin created a strategy to build 60 new arenas across each region of Ukraine to ensure the game could grow and thrive everywhere. Some eleven of those facilities were modern, indoor rinks in the Kiev and Donetsk regions, while nine others were built through the private sector. Commensurate with these efforts, Ukraine hosted several important IIHF events, notably the 2011 and 2013 Men’s World Championship, Division I-A and I-B, respectively, as well as several junior level events. But Brezvin well knew the growth of the game depended on the lower levels and grassroots programs. To that end, he established the Cup of Ukraine tournament as well as a national youth championship, both of which helped to establish and build a foundation for the next generation of talent. Going further, Brezvin entered Ukraine into the IIHF’s Women’s World Championship program while simultaneously creating a Ukrainian women’s championship. After relinquishing his presidency in 2020, Brezvin became an Honourary President and continued his work in the game, playing a critical role in ensuring the safety of more than 2,500 players in 2022 during the darkest hours of the Russian invasion.[3]
