HISTORY OF THE FREDERICTON WALL OF FAME
At the May 16th, 1991 meeting of the Board of Fredericton Sports
Investment Inc. a decision was made to establish a Sports Wall of
Fame.
Fredericton Sports Investment Inc. thought it would be a good
idea to honour local sports heroes. This was seen as particularly
important for the Capital City of New Brunswick.
The group approached Fredericton City Council in May 1991 with
the idea and Council strongly supported the concept.
It was unanimously agreed that the Wall should be established in
the new Sheraton Hotel (now the Delta) with Mr. John Kileel doing
the work to see that an appropriate space within the facility be
made available.
It was agreed that an honour plaque be erected on the top center
of the wall honouring those Fredericton athletes who have been
inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame. The criteria
for selection to the Wall from nominated candidates were based
on existing criteria from other established Halls and Walls of Fame
throughout New Brunswick.
The Fredericton Wall of Fame seeks to honour athletes, builders
and teams who have excelled on behalf of the City.

FREDERICTON SPORTS INVESTMENT
A Short History
Fredericton Sports Investment started as a group of local hockey supporters who
banded together to operate the Fredericton Jr. Red Wings in the New Brunswick Jr.
B Hockey League in 1981. The major fund raising initiative was an auction at which
the public could bid on various items donated by local merchants. After only two
years the league folded, but FSI continued its annual fund raising activities, with the
proceeds going to support “minor hockey and other young athletes and teams”.
The format was changed to a Dinner/Auction in 1990, hi-lited by a “name” guest
speaker. This change proved to be very successful with gross revenues steadily
increasing from $31,000 in 1990 to $245,000 in 2013. Jim Ralph, Jacques Demers,
Harry Neal, Ron MacLean, Brian Burke, Dennis Hull, Willie O’Ree, Dale Hawerchuk, Rod
Black, plus Fredericton’s own Marianne Limpert and Matt Stairs, are among those
who have graced our head table. FSI has, from the 33 auctions, returned over $3
million to this community. While most of the funds are distributed to hockey
players and teams, FSI has, during the last decade, made over 500 grants in 42
other sports.
FSI administers two special endowment funds – The Timmy Munn Memorial
Scholarship Fund and the Timmy Munn Needy Kids Fund. The former provides
financial support for university freshmen while the latter provides funds for kids who
can not afford to play their sport. Both funds are in memory of deceased hockey
player Timmy Munn, and were established from the sales of a series of limited edition
hockey prints donated to FSI by Tim’s mother, celebrated artist Catherine Karnes
Munn.
Another initiative of FSI is the Fredericton Sports Wall of Fame, inaugurated in
1992, which can be viewed in its newly renovated display at the Delta Hotel. Every
May, a reception and dinner are held to honour and induct the successful nominees,
who now total 74 Athletes, 56 Builders and 17 Teams. At that event we also
recognize Fredericton’s Athlete of the Year with the Myer and Jack Budovitch Trophy,
and long time sports volunteers with the Bill MacGillivary Volunteer Award.
FSI also partners with the NB Assn. of Community Living to present an
Elimination Draw each October, providing more funds for amateur sports in our
community.
FSI has a volunteer Board of 38 local business, professional and retired individuals
who give of their time to support the youth of this community.

2015 INDUCTEES WALL OF FAME ATHLETE
Dick Yeomans
Dick Yeomans was a stay at home
defenceman, a homegrown talent
who played in an era when most of
the team was made up of imports. In
Ernie Fitzsimmons’ book, the History of
Hockey In Fredericton 1946-1969, he
was described as a “slick puck-handling
defenceman for a dozen years on the
Caps blue line.” He was part of the
Caps 1950-51 Maritime champions and
Eastern Canadian finalists, where he
and Boyd MacTavish were teammates.
A tough, solid defenceman at five-footten and 170 pounds, he finished eighth
in league scoring in the 1949-50 season with the Caps, scoring two goals
and 12 assists for 14 points in nine games and adding another goal and
an assist in five playoff games. Yeomans was part of three Maritime
championship teams as a homegrown Fredericton player. He was also a
great baseball talent in the capital city. As a pitcher, he had a long career
with the Devon Tigers of the New Brunswick Senior League.
After his playing career, he coached for several years in the Fredericton
Youth Hockey Association, taking his New Brunswick midget team to
the Wrigley Canadian Championship tournament (now the Telus Cup).
He also coached teams at the intermediate level in both Fredericton and
Woodstock.

2015 INDUCTEES WALL OF FAME ATHLETE
Penny Dickeson
You might say Penny Dickeson has the
credentials to make the Fredericton
Sports Wall of Fame with something
to “spare.”
Penny is a golfer by summer, a bowler
by winter, and has excelled in both
for decades. Her career on the golf
course has been dominant. She
has represented New Brunswick on
provincial teams in each of six decades.
She’s been a stalwart on women’s
senior teams for 13 years from 1999
through 2014, won the senior women’s
title in 2006, the Super Senior title in
2014 and has been a three time runner
up. She was player of the year in the New Brunswick Ladies Golf Association
in 1997 and runner up in 2006. In 1988, she finished second only to Lori
Kane in the New Brunswick Ladies Amateur tournament.
As a bowler, she represented Fredericton teams at the New Brunswick
provincial championships for 33 straight years. She was captain of the
winning team in1999 and part of runner up teams in 1982, 1988, 2010 and
2013. She has been a member of three Maritime championship teams and
a member of the winning team at the Halifax Ladies International Bowling
tournament in 2011.
Her individual accomplishments are many: she won the high average at the
Ladies provincial tournament two different times, was runner up another
time, and had the tournament high triple of 409 in 1987.
She continues to build on an impressive athletic resume.

2015 INDUCTEES WALL OF FAME ATHLETE
Boyd MacTavish
Boyd MacTavish began building
an impressive career as an athlete
beginning in midget and juvenile
hockey, when he played for the IOOF
Midgets in 1945-46 and the Juveniles
in 1946-47. He led that team in scoring
with 12 goals and nine assists in six
games.
His scoring magic continued with the
Fredericton Dairy Kings in 1948-49,
when he scored five goals and five
assists in six games as the centre for
the legendary Sewell brothers, Neil and
Doug.
They moved up to the Fredericton Caps
of the Southern New Brunswick Hockey League the following year and
led the Caps to the league title, with MacTavish scoring six goals and
eight assists in eight games. The following year, the Caps captured the
Maritime championship before losing to Noranda in the Eastern Canadian
championship. MacTavish scored 12 goals and 19 assists in the Caps march
to the Eastern Canadian championship. In six playoff games, he had three
goals and five assists.
The following year, the Caps won the 1951-52 New Brunswick/PEI
championship, with MacTavish collecting 36 points in 12 games.
Boyd appeared in exhibition games against the Montreal Canadiens and
Chicago Blackhawks, scoring two goals in an exhibition game against
Hockey Hall of Famer Harry Lumley. During the hockey off-season, Boyd
was among the top hitters on his senior baseball team. He was stricken with
polio in 1952, ending an athletic career that was destined to be among the
best in New Brunswick.

2015 INDUCTEES WALL OF FAME ATHLETE
David Sullivan
David Sullivan is one of New
Brunswick’s most successful curlers,
winning 20 Provincial Championships
from Juniors to Masters, five Maritime
Championships and a National
Championship. He represented New
Brunswick at two Canadian Juniors,
six Briers (twice tied for third) and
seven Canadian Seniors. At the 1972
Brier, Sullivan was awarded the Ross
Harstone Trophy for outstanding
sportsmanship. Respected for his love
for the sport and his skill, a triumph
came when he skipped his team to
victory at the 1994 Canadian Senior
Men’s Curling Championship. In addition to competing, Sullivan took great
pride in coaching teams skipped by his three sons to Provincial Junior
Men’s Championship titles in 1987, 1989, and 1991. The pinnacle of his
curling career came when he coached his eldest son’s “The Jim Sullivan
Rink” to victories at the 1987 Canadian and the 1988 World Junior Men’s
Curling Championship. David won twenty Provincial titles: two Junior, six
Men’s, seven Senior and five Masters. Sullivan’s Maritime titles were two at
the Intercollegiate level and three Masters. He competed at six Briers (1966,
1967, 1972, 1976, 1982, and 1983), a recognized achievement for that era.
David Sullivan was inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame
in 2014.
RBC would like to
congratulate all of the
2015 inductees and

WILLIAM (BILL) MACGILLIVARY AWARD
William “Bill” MacGillivary
The William (Bill) MacGillivary Award is
named in honour of the former Dean of
the Faculty of Physical Education and
Recreation at U.N.B., Hockey Canada
executive and president of Fredericton
Sports Investment Ltd. The award,
commissioned by his fellow members
of FSI, is an engraved plaque, presented
annually to “Fredericton’s outstanding
sport volunteer and community
worker.”
The script on the plaque reads “In
memory of William “Bill” MacGillivary,
honoring his volunteer service and
commitment to excellence in the field of sport and recreation at the
local, provincial, national and international level.”
This year’s recipient is Rheal Bourque.
The past winners of the William (Bill) MacGillivary Award were:

2014 WILLIAM (BILL) MACGILLIVARY AWARD
Rheal Bourque
Rheal moved back to his hometown
of Fredericton 32 years ago and
committed much of his time to baseball
and hockey, his 2 favorite sports. While
most interested in coaching, he often
took on many administrative positions.
Over the years, he has served on the
board of Fredericton Minor Baseball
and Fredericton Youth Hockey. He
has served as Division Manager, Zone
Manager, Coordinator and Director,
as well as Vice President of the NB
Junior Hockey League and President
of the City of Fredericton Intermediate
Baseball League.
Rheal often coached two teams at the same time in both sports. He
believed that he was more productive on the field or in the rink, than in
the boardrooms.
In later years, he believed that after midget age, many players, both in
Baseball and Hockey had no place to play. He organized several Junior
Baseball teams, which then evolved into an Intermediate league. The
league still operates today with five or six teams. He also got involved with
Juvenile Hockey and along with coaches/managers from Moncton and
Saint John; they formed the New Brunswick Junior Hockey League, which
is still operating as an eleven team league.
Although quite a few of his teams have had Championship seasons he is
most proud of the many players that have and still show appreciation for
having been on his teams.
He has received several awards, including Award of Distinction (FYHA),
Unsung Hero (City of Fredericton), Distinguished Citizen Award (City of
Fredericton) and Hockey Canada Junior Hockey Recognition Award.
21
THE MYER AND JACK BUDOVITCH TROPHY
This award originated with two brothers who were strong supporters
of sport in the city of Fredericton. The 1940’s & 1950’s were times of
imported senior hockey talent in Fredericton and with the financial and
moral support of Myer Budovitch and others, this city was able to ice a very
competitive team. Jack Budovitch devoted his attention to the Fredericton
Caps following the end of the “Import Era” in senior hockey. Jack served as
president for a number of years and also was a major financial supporter
of the team.
In 1956 The Budovitch family donated a trophy dedicated to Myer and
Jack which was to be presented annually to Fredericton’s Outstanding
Athlete. This designation was later broadened to include also Outstanding
Team. The first winner of the Myer and Jack Budovitch trophy was Marjorie
Squires and last year’s winner was Dayle Colpitts.
The Myer and Jack Budovitch trophy unfortunately laid dormant for
intervals of time until revived by Fredericton Sports Investment in 1999.
The Athlete of the Year Award is now presented at the annual Fredericton
Sports Wall of Fame Induction Dinner each May.
The winner of this award for 2014 is Jake Allen

THE MYER AND JACK BUDOVITCH TROPHY
Fredericton’s “Athlete of the Year” 2014
Jake Allen
Fredericton has developed many great
hockey players over the years. But it’s
a small group that have actually been
able to find full time work in the N-H-L.
Willie O’Ree, Danny Grant and Buster
Harvey are the first three names on
the Mount Rushmore of Fredericton
hockey.
The latest candidate to join them
may be Goaltender Jake Allen of the
St-Louis Blues. After paying his dues
for several seasons in the minors, Allen
is now the backup goaltender to Brian
Elliot on a Stanley Cup contender in
St-Louis.
Ironically, the 24 year old also got to
share the crease with his boyhood idol, Martin Brodeur for a short time
this season. Brodeur came out of retirement for a short stint with the Blues.
Allen won The Myer and Jack Budovitch award as Fredericton’s athlete of
the year in 2008, after he was named to Canada’s national junior team. He
wins it again in 2014, for breaking though a barrier that has eluded many
prospects over the years...and becoming a full time NHLer.
The recipient of the 2014 Myer and Jack Budovitch Award goes to
goaltender Jake Allen.
