The Frank Tomlin Memorial Award Sports Person of the Year This award is named in honor of the late Frank Tomlin who

passed away in 1976. Tomlin is remembered as a great sports fan that was passionate about his city and those who represented it. Gord Showler, who at the time of Frank's death was a sponsor of Brantford's Junior 'B' franchise, initiated the award.

Each year the award recognizes an individual from Brantford whose contribution to sport has had a great impact on this community. The winner of the award must be active in the sport for which they are nominated, however work done in previous years is also taken into consideration. No individual can win the award in consecutive years but the award can be won by the same individual more than once.

Frank Bricker Memorial Award for Male Youth Leadership

During his time, Frank Bricker was a legend in the sport of boxing. Known by many in the ranks of Ontario Boxing as ‘Mr. Boxing’, Frank is best known in Brantford for his events in the development of the Summerhayes boys, the three boxing brothers who competed in national and international level competition. All 3 turned pro in 1970, and became the only set of three brothers to compete on the same card at Madison Square Garden, an accomplishment that can be attributed to Bricker’s work. Through his efforts, he put Brantford on the world boxing map for his ability to teach and train high caliber boxers.

Phyllis Gretzky Memorial Award for Female Youth Leadership

Phyllis is likely the least famous member of Canada’s first family of hockey, but many will tell you that she was the most important one. It was her dedication to her family that allowed Wayne to have the kind of success that he did. She was the family stalwart who kept everything cool and collected throughout Wayne’s rise to stardom, doing whatever was necessary behind the scenes to make sure that everything was as normal as it could have been. Her quiet leadership was the glue that kept the foundation together.

George Churchill Memorial Sports Volunteer of the Year

Had the category existed during his day, George Churchill

would have found himself nominated for this award for decades. His tireless work with the track and field

program here in Brantford, both with the Brantford club and also with the schools, allowed Brantford to become a hub for some of the best competitions in the sport. He was the man behind the organization and execution of just about every meet during the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and

even in to the 90’s. He was also the coach of Brantford’s first track and field to make the Olympic Games, with

Debbie Miller in 1968.
