Canada Soccer Hall of Fame is getting a rebrand — and new management
TORONTO — The Canada Soccer Hall of Fame is getting a rebrand — and new management.
Now under the auspices of the Canadian Soccer Association, the Hall will be announcing its Class of 2017 on May 25. There are currently 173 members of the Hall of Fame.
That includes 17 players from the 1920s and ’30s announced Monday, as part of Canada’s 150 the anniversary celebrations. Seventeen were chosen because it’s been 17 years since the first Hall of Fame class was honoured.
The 17 come from the era of the Dominion of Canada Football Championship, otherwise known as the Connaught Series, which crowned 24 national champions from 1913 to 1939. More than a dozen players from this era are already in the Hall.
