About the Museum:

The Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame and Museum is unique in Canada. It is the only provincial basketball hall of fame and museum with a permanent site.

The mission of the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame and Museum is:

  1. to induct into the Hall players, teams and builders for their outstanding achievements in the sport of basketball in Manitoba, and…
  2. to preserve and showcase in the Museum the rich history of basketball in Manitoba.

To meet these outcomes, the Hall of Fame and Museum Committee organizes and hosts Hall of Fame Induction Dinners and develops and maintains two Museum sites, an actual physical site, and a virtual site at https://www.mbhof.com. The actual site is prominently located within the mezzanine and spectator entrance area at the University of Winnipeg’s Duckworth Centre at 400 Spence Street in Winnipeg. The central focus of the Hall of Fame and Museum is a large wall-mounted oak plaque which lists the over 100 athletes, 105 teams and 80 builders that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, since its inception in 1983. The Museum has received artifacts directly related to each inductee, to add to the thousands of other artifacts in the collection, preserving the rich history of basketball in Manitoba.
