Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Hockey Hall of Fame : The Hockey Hall of Fame was established in Toronto in 1957 through the co-operation of the National Hockey League and the Canadian National Exhibition. It was initially housed in one large room of the Sports Hall of Fame building on the C.N.E. Grounds. By 1960 more space was needed to accommodate the growing number of hockey displays and mementos.

Through the efforts of the National Hockey League, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, the Canadian National Exhibition and the City of Toronto, a new building for the Hockey Hall of Fame was designed and built in 1960-61. The Sports Hall of Fame was housed in one wing of this new structure. The first curator of the Hockey Hall of Fame was R.W. "Bobby" Hewitson (1892-1969). Upon Mr. Hewitson's retirement in 1967, Mr. M.H. "Lefty" Reid of Scarboro, Ontario became curator.
