Born in Bracebridge Ontario, Roderick
Alan Bloomfield, known as ‘Boomer’
began his Professional Hockey Career
with the Brunswick Juniors in Parry
Sound. His career landed him with the
NAHL Broom Dusters in Binghamton
New York, where in 338 regular
season games spanning five seasons
he scored more goals and more points
than any player in Binghamton hockey
history and was awarded the NAHL
MVP award twice. Rod was the double
and did most of the skating scenes for
actor Paul Newman in the movie ‘Slap
Shot’.
Born in Quebec, Josée’s professional
athletic career in Natural Bodybuilding
began much later in life than usual
when she moved to Parry Sound and
began work at New Life Fitness. At 39
years old she competed successfully
against women in their 20’s winning
Northern Ontario’s “Miss Fitness” and a
Provincial Level championship in 2001
and placing 2nd in the Canadian Natural
Bodybuilding Federation national World
Qualifier in 2002. Following her
retirement from the professional ranks,
Josée has applied her training and
skills to help others. She lives in Parry
Sound with her family and works as a
Manager and Personal Trainer at New
Life Fitness.
Rod Dixon was a major part of Parry
Sound Minor Hockey for almost 23
years. Coach, manager, and
trainer, he loved being behind the
scenes managing the kids and
teams to victories silently, proudly
and with dedication. A member of
the OMHA club executive for 17
years, Rod’s community service
extended well beyond minor hockey.
To this day, Rod continues to give
unselfishly of his time to help make
the Parry Sound-Muskoka area a
better community.
The 1969 MacTier Legionnaires
Fastball Team were made up of a
group of friends and teammates who
practiced to perfection for the love of
the game. With Ron Blanchard as
captain and second baseman, Merle
Pegahmagabow catching and John
Young on the mound, coach Sandy
Heidman and manager Aub Allsop
put the boys through rigorous
training and created one of the best
infields in Mactier fastball history. In
1969 this team swept through league
and district championships to bring
home the 1969 Juvenile Provincial
Crown.
Current Bobby Orr Hall of
Fame Members
Bobby Orr Hall of Fame
The Bobby Orr Hall of Fame opened in July
2003 as a permanent tribute honouring Parry
Sound’s outstanding athletes, teams and builders of sport, including the Town’s most famous
son, Bobby Orr. Established to preserve the
rich history of sports in Parry Sound, the Hall
exhibits photographs, videos, and sports
artifacts.
The first floor celebrates the career of Bobby
Orr. Exhibits include Bobby Orr’s Stanley Cup
and Canada Cup rings, the hockey stick and
puck he used to score the winning goal for the
1970 Stanley Cup, his original contract with the
Boston Bruins, a number of Orr’s trophies, his
Canada Cup jersey and much more.
The second floor celebrates the careers of
other sports greats with ties to the Parry
Sound area. The current year’s inductees are
each honoured with a display of artifacts from
their careers. Also on the second floor are a
number of interactive games including two
small rinks where visitors can shoot the puck
at full-size projections of famous goalies, or
become a goalie themselves.
The Bobby Orr Hall of Fame recognizes and
honours achievement in competitive sport and
its development. It keeps this legacy alive for
the inductees, the sport community and future
generations through celebration, public
exhibition and preservation of our sport
heritage.
