Frederick Heather added to Canadian Sports Hall of Fame

Frederick Heather is now part of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, following a well organized campaign by Chris Radford. Heather is part of the legends of Canadian sport whose achievements occurred before 1955 when Canada’s Sports Hall first opened their doors. Heather had a long career as an umpire and as a builder of the sport made an enormous contribution to cricket in Canada. Frederick began umpiring in 1927 and was Canada’s longest serving umpire when he retired from his long 40 year career which included numerous national and international assignments including the 1932 Australian Good Will Tour and the First Class status match between Canada and England in 1951. He umpired in more than 1000 consecutive matches without a miss.
