WILLIAM "SCOTTY" CARMICHAEL

Scotty Carmichael was the 25th member of the Sports Hall of Fame. He was nominated and inducted by his fellow members of the selection committee, without his knowledge, during the Hall's first induction ceremonies.

He is credited with the establishment of the Collingwood Sports Hall of Fame.

A sports reporter for various daily newspapers, radio and television stations, Scotty was connected with many sports organizations for fifty-five years.

During this time he served as president of the Collingwood Senior Hockey League, the Collingwood District Fastball League, Collingwood Junior Football League and served as secretary and on and on the executive of Collingwood Intermediate and Junior O.H.A. teams and the Collingwood Minor Hockey Association. He also coached junior baseball teams and was actively engaged in long distance running back in the mid-twenties.

Scotty's passing in 2006 will be missed by anyone wishing to learn more about Collingwood's 'Sporting Days' of yesteryear.
