Five members to be inducted into the 2004 Softball Canada Hall of Fame



Softball Canada is pleased to announce the 2004 list of members that will 
be inducted into the Softball Canada Hall of Fame. Five members who have 
dedicated their life and time to the sport of softball will be formally 
recognized at the 2004 Hall of Fame banquet to be held Saturday, November 
13 at the Executive Airport Plaza hotel in Richmond, British Columbia.



“ We are extremely proud and honoured to have these 5 individuals who have 
spent so much time and energy in developing, promoting and growing the 
sport of softball,” stated Softball Canada President Kevin Quinn.  “ The 
Softball Canada Hall of Fame is a very prestigious honour and the softball 
community looks forward to recognizing their commitment in November.



The 5 members who will be inducted into the 2004 Softball Canada Hall of 
Fame are:



(Builder) Dale McMann (Prince George, British Columbia) – Dale served as 
President of Softball Canada from 1990 to 2001 and President of Softball 
British Columbia from 1986 to 1990.  Leading up to his Presidencies, he had 
a varied background as a player, umpire and volunteer.  Currently he serves 
as a Vice-President of the International Softball Federation, a position he 
has held since 1993.   Dale is also the Chair or Co-Chair of several key 
ISF committees and serves as an ex-officio member of Softball Canada’s 
Board of Directors.



(Team) The 1978 Doc’s Blues (Vancouver, British Columbia) – The Doc’s Blues 
Senior Women’s team, a perennial powerhouse, represented Canada at the 1978 
ISF World Championships in El Salvador. They were the last club team to 
represent Canada at a World Championships before a national team system was 
put in place. Undefeated through the round robin and elimination rounds, 
the team’s only defeat came to the USA in the final, thereby winning the 
silver medal. The team’s record in 1978 was an amazing 113-16-2.



(Athlete) Tracey Huclack (Vancouver, British Columbia) – Tracey is a 
Centerfielder/Pitcher who played her ball in North Vancouver and New 
Westminster before joining Doc’s Blues in 1979 (later known as Alpha

medals at the Canadian Championships in the 1979-1993 time period, 
personally highlighted by M.V.P. awards in 1985 and 1986 and, the top 
batter award in 1987.  She also helped Team Canada to a silver medal at the 
1987 Pan-American Games.



(Builder) Keith MacLean (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) – Keith has been an 
outstanding contributor to the sport of softball locally, provincially and 
nationally. His involvement in coaching as a Course Conductor, Master 
Course conductor and NCCP Instructor has seen him instruct thousands of 
coaches. His contribution to Provincial Championships, Canadian 
Championships and the host organizing committee for 2 ISF World 
Championships has always been recognized as being invaluable to the 
operation of those events.



(Builder) Glen Todd (Surrey, British Columbia) - Glen is best known by the 
national and international softball communities as the founder and Co-Chair 
of the Canada Cup - the international softball event that hosts the best 
female fast-pitch teams from around the world in both the Senior and 
Futures levels. Glen has been a highly successful volunteer, locally and 
with Softball British Columbia, as a coach with gold medal winning White 
Rock Renegades teams and as an overall doer who has played a vital role in 
advancing the game.
