Football Manitoba Hall of Fame welcomes Class of 2024 - Winnipeg

Football Manitoba's Hall of Fame class for 2024 will include a pair of multiple-time Grey Cup-winning players, a longtime CFL official and a pioneer in women's football in the province. A total of nine individuals, along with members of the St. Paul's Crusaders teams from 2011 to 2014, will be honoured at the official induction dinner and ceremony set for Aug. 21 at Princess Auto Stadium's Pinnacle Club. Player: Ted Milian was a member of the 1972 St. John's Tigers Winnipeg High School Football League championship team who was also named an all-Canadian for two of his five seasons as an offensive lineman for the University of Manitoba Bisons. After being drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1977, Milian joined Edmonton the following year — just in time to be a part of five consecutive Grey Cup championship squads with the green and gold from 1978 through 1982.
