At the Governors meeting held in Regina in 2016 the decision was taken to search out, identify and nominate possible inductees into the newly established IFBA Hall of Fame.

The recognition of either individual persons or teams was considered long over due given the many years that the IFBA has been holding the World Broomball Championships.

A sub committee tasked with finding worthy recipients was set up and along with creating the guidelines in the form of policy they set about seeking those nominees. Quickly one and then a second were identified and after some research those persons were forwarded  to the IFBA Board for consideration and ratification.

The IFBA Board are very proud to present the following two inductees into the IFBA Hall of Fame and the space available does not do either justice by telling their stories.

The Inductees are: Kim Shapley  and Jean-Noel Gilbert.
