The Notre Dame Wall of Fame grew by four Friday morning during an induction ceremony at the Welland high school.
Joining the sports wall were Grey Cup champion Chris Van Zeyl, world field lacrosse silver medalist Vanessa VanderZalm, U SPORTS basketball champion Scott Murray and cheer coach Karen Wallace.
The wall, established in 1986 during the school’s 50th anniversary celebrations, honours any Notre Dame alumnus who has attained outstanding recognition or superior accomplishments in a school sport. It is based on playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character and contribution to a team or teams at Notre Dame.
“As you can probably imagine, this is a difficult and challenging task. We are blessed to have a history of excellence so you can imagine our pride at adding four more recipients this year,” Notre principal Andrew Boon said.
