Welcome to the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame

The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization established to (1) educate alaskans and visitors to the state about the people, events, and moments in alaskan sport (2) honor and preserve the memory of significant people, events, and moments in alaskan sport, and (3) promote a healthy youth population by providing activities that will inspire children to strive for success in their own lives.

The 2009 Inductees Have Been Selected!

The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame announced today the five people, one event and two moments that will make up the Class of 2009. The athlete inductees include H.A. “Red” Boucher, Alaska Baseball League pioneer, Nina Kemppel, U.S. Nordic ski champion and mountain running legend, Wally Leask, World War II era southeast basketball legend, Hilary Lindh, Olympic medalist and Colonel Norman Vaughan, long-time polar explorer and adventurer. The internationally famous World Eskimo-Indian Olympics, established in 1961, was chosen in the event category. The two moments inducted were the epic first winter ascent of Mt. McKinley in 1967 and Doug Herron’s stunning performance on the track in 1985, when he clocked a national-best 1:49.2 in the 800 meters at the 1985 Alaska High School Track and Filed Championships. The public is welcome to attend the induction ceremony in February, 2009, at the ConocoPhillips atrium in Anchorage, date and time TBA. ConocoPhillips is a major sponsor of this event...read the full press release

The Hall Opens to the Public

Dog sled racing legend and Alaska Sports Hall of Fame charter inductee George Attla cut the ribbon on the inductee exhibit at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport Thursday, September 25th. During the ceremony Attla stressed the importance of the Hall to Alaskan youth, especially rural Alaskans.

The 'Hall' is located in the corridor between the parking garage and in-state flight gates. It is accessible to the public 24 hours a day. In addition to the inductee portraits, the display features a dedication plaque and a flat screen monitor that showcases inductee biographies.
