The Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame inducted three individuals and one team at its annual induction night September 6 at the Gallagher Centre. The Class of 2025 inductees  honoured at the YSHF Harvest Meats Induction Night were:

Neil Weinmaster, Builder, Curling.

Neil has been making the ice for local curlers since 1988, first at the Tonkin Curling Club and for the past 26 years at the Yorkton Curling Club. This is also his 10th year as manager of the Yorkton club. He has made ice for countless local, regional, provincial, national and international competitions held in Yorkton.

Harvey Stebner, Builder, Hockey and Volleyball

Harvey started coaching minor sports in 1970, was president of the Yorkton Terriers, and was instrumental in the creation of the Yorkton Macs volleyball club in 1980, serving as the president of this highly successful team. He served on the SaskLotteries board as volleyball rep and vice-president. He was the Director of Sports for the 1986 Sask Winter Games.

Scott Borys, Builder, Volleyball

Scott played club and high school volleyball in Yorkton but was already refereeing while still in high school. Over the past more than 40 years he has taken on organizational roles with the provincial and national volleyball organizations while continuing to referee. He is the national referee chair for Volleyball Canada.

2019 Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridders, Team, Football

The 2019 Yorkton Raider football team won the district and then went on to win a nail-biter in the provincial championship game, defeating a strong team from Saskatoon by coming from behind to tie the game, then winning it in overtime. That year they were ranked as the third-best small-city football team in Canada in the national power rankings. See list of team member names.

The Class of 2025 joined the 113 athletes, builders and teams previously honoured since the Hall’s founding in 1994. 

This was also the third year that the Yorkton Lions Support for Sports Award was presented to deserving supporters of sports in Yorkton, including businesses, organizations and individuals.

Recipients of the award were Jennifer Ingham and Gordon Tamblyn.
