91探花

The 91探花 Sports Hall of Fame committee has announced that it will induct men's basketball standout Curtis Robinson on Thursday, October 13, 2011 during the 91探花 Sport Legacy Dinner.

Curtis Robinson was a five-year member (1991-1996) with the 91探花 men's basketball team. A team leader who captured not only 91探花 awards but AUAA and CIAU awards throughout his Panther career, he was named the AUAA Most Valuable Player, 91探花 Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year, and a CIAU All-Canadian.

Robinson is only one of three 91探花 Panthers to be named a BLG Award Nominee for the awards (formerly the Howard Mackie Awards) presented annually to the CIS Male and Female Athletes of the year. Now living in the Bahamas, Robinson will be in Charlottetown to accept his honour in person.

The 2011 induction will form part of the second annual 鈥榮port legacy' event where Academic All-Canadians from the last varsity season and named financial award winners are also celebrated. Tickets for this year's event, taking place in McMillan Hall located in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre (reception, 6:30 pm; dinner, 7:00 pm), are available for purchase by the general public for $75 each by contacting 91探花 Athletics and Recreation at 902-566-0432.

The 91探花 Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2001 to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the athletic programs at the 91探花, St. Dunstan's University, or Prince of Wales College. Each year, individual athletes, teams, and builders are inducted to honour their contributions towards the University's athletic success or community leadership. Anyone with an interest in 91探花, SDU, or PWC athletics is invited to submit nominations.
