Hall of Fame

It is with immense pride that Place Bell welcomes within its walls the Laval Sports Hall of Fame.  The men and women who, by their dedication or unforgettable performances, have marked the history of the city will now occupy a place of honour in the Hall of Fame within the arena, a new symbol of sports in Laval.

Created in 1996 to honour the involvement and merit of Laval personalities, the Laval Sports Hall of Fame spotlights the work, determination and courage of some thirty personalities who have already been inducted either as a major contributor, official, trainer or athlete.

Each year, an induction committee has the responsibility to select candidates to be nominated for induction. The selection is based on well-defined criteria such as important achievements, success achieved, dedication over time and demonstrated personal qualities.

Pierre Gervais, bénévole reconnu sur la scène sportive lavalloise et dans le milieu du hockey, a contribué de façon significative à l’organisation régionale du sport.

En plus d’organiser de nombreux événements spéciaux, tournois et championnats de hockey avec ses acolytes, grâce à son implication régionale, il a su positionner Laval de brillante façon. Il est notamment cofondateur de l’URLS de Laval et a agi comme président d’Opération Nez rouge Laval-Basses Laurentides pendant plus de 15 ans. Il siège au conseil d’administration de Sports Laval depuis sa création en 2003 et en a été président de 2007 à 2018.

De nombreuses distinctions lui ont été décernées, dont le prix du bénévole de l’année, catégorie sport, de la Ville de Laval en 1992. Intronisé au Temple de la renommée du hockey lavallois en 2003, il a reçu le même honneur en 2010 de la part de Hockey Québec.
