Tim McCarthy is widely known as an energetic and skilled organizer for the Nelson Softball Association in Nelson-Miramichi, of the City of Miramichi, N.B. Tim has been involved since the 1960s as a coach, manager, tournament organizer, fundraiser, and executive.

Joseph Robert RichardATHLETE
Joe Richard, who passed away only two months ago is to be honoured posthumously. Over a period of nearly sixty years, Joe Richard, excelled in boxing, skating, and as a runner, from 1932 to 1991. He competed in numerous middle-distance and longer events, including three appearances at the Boston Marathon. Joe was never the beneficiary of formal coaching, but trained vigorously and continuously on his own. Over his career Joe has been presented with more than 150 trophies, medals, ribbons, and certificates, and he was recognized as the pre-eminent middle-distance runner in the Maritimes during the 1950s. Surely Joe’s enduring claim to fame will be the longevity of his athletic career. No Miramichi athlete has established a longer or more distinguished record in distance running.

Bette SullivanBUILDER
Bette Sullivan was intrigued one night as she watched ringette being played during an intermission feature on Hockey Night in Canada. She obtained some literature on ringette from a cousin in Ontario, lobbied for ice-time with the Newcastle Recreation Commission, attracted a group of about eighty girls to give it a try, and the rest is history. Since 1974 Bette has been devoted to providing opportunities in sport for young women, not only in ringette, but in softball and other recreational pursuits. The history of ringette in New Brunswick had its beginnings on the Miramichi and from 1973 to the mid 80s, Bette Sullivan was the primary motivator of its growth in her community

Congratulations to all of the 2009 Inducteeson their selection to the

2009History
The City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame began as the Chatham Sports Wall of Fame in 1988. Inductions to the Chatham Wall of Fame were held annually until 1994, when Chatham became part of the City of Miramichi.
The Chatham Wall of Fame was revived in 2005 due to the initiative of Peter Nevin. This was to coincide with the 50th Anniversary observances for the Lord Beaverbrook Arena. Inductions to the Chatham Wall of Fame were made in 2005 and 2006 while discussions leading to the establishment of the City of Miramichi Wall of Fame were ongoing.
The current Board of Directors of the City of Miramichi Wall of Fame (names are listed on a separate page) was formed through a merger of the Chatham Sports Wall of Fame Committee and an exploratory committee, chaired by Bev Bawn. The City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame held it’s first induction ceremony in 2007.
2009
Inductees to the Chatham Wall of Fame have become members of the City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame. With the inclusion of this year’s inductees, the City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame will have a membership of: 5 Teams, 29 Builders, 38 Athletes and 2 Veteran Athletes for a total of 64 proud recipients of this honour.
The City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame Board of Directors looks forward to annually honouring athletes, builders and teams who have contributed significantly to the great legacy and tradition of Miramichi sports.
