The Enfield Hall of Fame has found a new home at Enfield High School.
The school recently added The Hall of Champions next to the gymnasium. It will be the permanent home for over 150 plaques dedicated to outstanding historic Enfield athletes.
For the last 12 years, the Hall of Fame has been in the Enfield Senior Center billiard room, but the high school location is expected to more visible to the public.
The first class of the Enfield Hall of Fame was inaugurated in 1996. This year, the 24th class will enter at the beginning of September. Members of the community, sports enthusiasts, and 15 of the prior inductees in the Hall of Fame came to the high school gymnasium for a Q&A forum and meet and greet with Bill Rasmussen, the founder of ESPN.
At 86 years old, Rasmussen has lived in Enfield. Working as the New England Whalers communication director from the middle of the end of the 1970s, he called it home. Glen, his son, graduated from Fermi High School in 1977 as a star golf and ice hockey player. Rasmussen spoke to the crowd and, afterwards, the 15 honorees in attendance - Charlie Ragno, Joe Andrychowski, Ben Aleks, Bob Linn, Lisa Carrara, Marian Dippel, Tom Owens, Phil Clarkin, John Blomstrann, Bill Cantin, Chris Corkum, Judy Joslin, and Lenny Shortz.
A banner or poster printing shop could make a sign for the door of the Hall of Champions to label it. It could be professional and academic, or fun with a sports theme.
