WMBA Hall of Fame

The WMBA Hall of Fame Honourees

Created and approved by the Board of Directors of the WMBA in its 2024-2025 season the award seeks to recognize the outstanding contributions of our volunteers who have contributed their time and efforts at all levels of our organization. Recognition in the WMBA Hall of Fame also results in automatic submission of an application to the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame for consideration in future selections. Future submissions will include volunteers who are recognized as Builders in their contributions to the WMBA.

This year the Board of Directors approved submission of the Founders of the WMBA who were responsible for the creation, development, and support of tireless efforts to establish a strong presence of basketball in our community. These same Founders together with other Builders of the WMBA are members of the Board of Directors of the Winnipeg Minor Basketball Foundation which was responsible for the construction of 6 outdoor basketball courts at our member community clubs, awarding annual scholarships to deserving youth participants, and providing financial assistance to youth who would otherwise be unable to participate. This group together with other members of the Board also worked in celebrating the 25th anniversary of the WMBA in 2022 and providing archival information on a website (HERE) for all to refer to and enjoy. A presentation of the WMBA's past 25 years was presented at a Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame dinner.
