LAKE PLACID — The Lake Placid Hall of Fame Committee is seeking recommendations from Olympic Region residents for 2021 nominations. The deadline for submission is July 1.

The 2020 inductees were Larry Barney, Jack LaDuke, and Howard Riley.

The Lake Placid Hall of Fame began in 1983 and has inducted more than 100 individuals, as well as the members of the 1948 U.S. Olympic four-man bobsled team and the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. Plaques commemorating each member are on display in the Olympic Center’s Hall of Fame, located in the Conference Center at Lake Placid.

To be considered for induction, individuals must be current or past residents of the Olympic Region (defined as Essex, Clinton and Franklin counties in New York state) or have a significant connection to the area. Nominees must have made significant sports, cultural or civic contributions to the region, or their endeavors must have enhanced the quality of life, fellowship or historical heritage of the area. The selection committee maintains a list of previous nominees. Nominations will only be considered if they are accompanied by a list of accomplishments relative to the purpose of the Hall of Fame.
