Morgan Clark is this year's recipient of the Bob Turner Award following Gerry Strong (2024) and Mike Balo (2023).

"It's one of the most exciting classes we've ever had. It's a larger class with 10 and we have people who have achieve greatness at the highest level." said Pete Cusumano, a local coaching legend and a director with the hall. "When people hear the back stories they'll realize the accomplishment of these people and what they meant to our community."

New to the gala, the WECSSAA student athletes of the year will be properly celebrated for their achievements last year.

"We gave each one of the four athletes $2,500 dollar each." Cusumano told Powerplay Sports. "We decided to include them in the ceremony to recognize them because we honoured them with the bursary and so we decided to also recognize them at the ceremony."

Those athletes are Yasmine Kadri, Keilan Laporte, Rachel Wilbee and Nash Dreidger.
