Virtue and Moir lead star-studded group of inductees into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame

Canada's greatest figure-skating duo is now enshrined together forever.

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir were among the inductees to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame who were honoured in Gatineau, Que., on Thursday.

Joining them as athlete inductees are former UFC fighter Georges St-Pierre, wheelchair basketball athlete Danielle Peers, Indigenous softball player Phyllis Bomberry, and curling's Team Ferbey of Randy Ferbey, David Nedohin, Scott Pfeifer and Marcel Rocque. Indigenous lacrosse advocate Oren Lyons joins as a builder alongside Hiroshi Nakamura, a high performance judo coach.

In total, the newest class includes individual three athletes and two teams, in addition to a pair in the builders category, that have achieved great success in their sports and helped lead the way for future generations in Canadian sport.
