Gallery of Glory Induction Ceremony. This year’s ceremony will take place on October 30th. Inductees are Herbert C. Stevenson of Eston, and the 2018/2019 Midget Rambler hockey team.
Recreation Director, Bret Howe said the 2018/2019 Midget Rambler hockey team won the league championship and provincial championship that year. An article by Swift Current Online dated April, 2019, stated the Eston Ramblers tripled up the Delisle Bruins in their two-game total-point Midget B Provincial final to earn the coveted banner. The 9-3 combined win helped the Midget Ramblers to their second banner of the year, after already earning a league title.
Bret said that about nine of the players and coaches still live in the area, while the remaining players came from Eatonia, Leader and Cabri.
The other inductee, Herbert Stevenson, was nominated for his accomplishments in baseball, curling and hockey. “He’s been part of the community for almost 90 years, has been a long time coach of all three sports, and is a three-time inductee into the Sask. Hall of Fame,” Bret said. “He was won many titles.”
These individuals will be celebrated by the family and friends on October 30th, receiving plaques at the ceremonies and dinner.
