After nearly 40 years in Kelowna, the Okanagan Sun are celebrating the team's history.
The football club is assembling a Hall of Fame to recognize the great players, volunteers and other contributors to the Okanagan Sun organization.
“We want to thank and recognize all the players, and volunteers who made the Sun organization what it is today. This event is important for us.” said Vice President of the Okanagan Sun, Brett Kryskow.
On Thursday, the team named the 2019 inductees:
- Barry Urness (Builder)
- Terry Britton (Volunteer)
- Greg Hewko (Player)
- Jay Christensen (Player)
- Terrance Huston (Player)
- Chad Folk (Player)
- Jeff Halvorson (Player)
The inaugural class of hall of famers will be honored at an induction ceremony on June 26th.
Also in attendance will be guest speakers Wally Buono and Brian Towriss. Buono is the CFL's all-time winningest coach and was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2014. Towriss, also a Canadian hall of famer, holds the record for most wins as a coach in Canadian university history.
