Niagara Falls Sports Wall of Fame - Lucille Hilston Builder Senior Co-Ed Slo Pitch 1971 - 1990 Era Lucille Hilston was involved in the sport of Baseball in Niagara for many years as a founding member, player and coach of Senior Co-ed Slo-Pitch leagues. Lucille was a member of the founding committee for the Niagara Falls Girls Minor Softball Association, in 1971.

In 1985, at the age of 66, Lucille organized the Co-ed 50 Years and Beyond “Half-Century Grandtimers” Slo-Pitch League. The league was strictly for fun and recreation, inviting Seniors in all levels of skill. As the league grew, it became more competitive. At the age of 71, Lucille started up the Co-ed 60 Years & Over “Grandtimers Slo-Pitch League. These leagues are believed to be the first in Canada.

Niagara Falls Sports Wall of Fame - Tony Parisi Builder / Athlete Hockey 1900 - 1970 Era Tony Parisi was born in Niagara Falls on March 30, 1933. He proved to be an exceptional athlete and a true builder of sport. From 1947 - 1949, Tony played minor hockey and was a goalie for the Niagara Falls Junior “B” Hockey Team. In 1949, Tony was drafted by Galt of the Major Junior Ontario Hockey Association (O.H.A.). The following years he played Junior “A” hockey in Barrie, Kitchener and Belleville. After this experience, Tony went overseas where he played hockey for England, Sweden, Italy and Czechoslovakia. Upon returning home, Tony played in the International Hockey League (I.H.L.), the North American Hockey League (N.A.H.L.) and the American Hockey League (A.H.L.). In 1962, Tony was called up to play for the Pittsburgh Hornets hockey team. In 1965, the Pittsburgh Hornets team folded and Tony was hired by Mr. Rooney, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (N.F.L.) as the equipment manager. Having a keen eye, and knowledge of equipment, Tony ordered special non-slip shoes for the Pittsburgh Steelers for their 1975 Super Bowl game against Minnesota. He knew the weather would be bad, however, at the beginning of the game, only Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris wore the special shoes. After the first quarter, Tony had all the players change their shoes. The team players and Mr. Rooney indirectly credited Tony for winning the Super Bowl. Tony is the only person in Canada who has four Super Bowl rings. Tony Parisi has never forgotten his roots and he treats everyone who visits him from Niagara Falls, like royalty. Still a Canadian citizen, Tony has never changed and is now enjoying retirement ; -

Louis Ceccato Louis Ceccato, an outstanding Middleweight Class Boxer, was a Golden Glove Champion in 1934. Only a broken hand, in a qualifying fight for the Olympic trials, could slow him down. In 1958, Lou managed an Ontario boxing team that competed at the Canadian Boxing Championships and British Empire Games in Vancouver. At home in Niagara Falls, Lou not only participated in some of the biggest boxing events in our City, but he became a boxing event promoter, giving young fighters like Brian Kelly the public exposure and experience necessary to further their careers. Lou used his love of the sport to help teach and inspire boxers, and to give other people who shared his passion the chance to keep the sport alive in Niagara and across the country. This ‘Falls boy’ as the papers called him, was one of the smartest fighters of his time and one of the best referees in our area. He truly showed how love of sport can shape an entire life, and the lives of others. Lou participated on many championship sports teams that were sponsored by his employer Niagara Wire Weaving. Besides playing for the above teams, Lou coached the Niagara Falls Dynamo Football team of 1947, a team that won the Intermediate “B” Ontario Championship. Louis Ceccato was a life long resident of Niagara Falls and made outstanding contributions in the field of athletics, as a participant, coach, referee and boxing promoter. In addition, Lou’s accomplishments inspired his children to become outstanding athletes and sports contributors in Niagara Falls. -

Prospect Park and Niagara Falls in Winter Back description: The nearest and most comprehensive view of the mighty Niagara Falls is had from Prospect Park, which is on the American side next to the falling waters. At Prospect park we stand only a couple of feet above the American stream, just where it makes its smooth downward curve. We might touch it with our hands, as it bends, solid and glassy, over the long ledge of rock. We can lean on the rails and note how soon its polished surface breaks into silvery fragments, powders into glistening dust; and far beneath we can see the frosty mass strike black boulders and over and between them, flow off as frosted torrents into the dark green flood of gorge. From a distance the American Falls look quite straight. When we stand beside it, we see that its lines curve inward and outward. As we gaze down upon these, every change in the angle of vision and in the strength and direction of the light gives a new effect. -

Wintergreen Flats from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin This map shows the position of the divided falls when it reached the present Niagara Glen area. The heavy dotted line shows the gorge, formed by the three successive cataracts from three different layers of rock, through which the river flows today. The west falls on the right was to erode back faster than its branch falls, eventually cutting off the flow of water through this channel and drying off the eastern falls. This dried-off river bed is now the Wintergreen Flats picnic area. The American Falls will some day suffer the same fate as befell this western branch falls. -
