Ralph Scholz Ralph Scholz was born in Brantford, Ontario in 1961 and moved to Niagara Falls in 1969. Ralph began his football career in 1973, in the inaugural season of the Niagara Falls YMCA Minor Football league. He continued to play for two more years before entering High School and becoming a member of the A.N. Myer Marauders Junior and Senior Football teams. In 1978 and 1979, Ralph led the Marauder teams to back to back S.O.S.S.A. Championships in football. He also won S.O.S.S.A. as a heavy weight wrestler in those same years. Ralph was a Myer Letterman, team MVP, Captain, City All-Star Selection and he was selected as the “Best Lineman” at the Hamilton Ti-Cats High School Football Camp. In 2008, Ralph was inducted into the A.N. Myer Sports Wall of Honour. Ralph’s strength, success and dominance in football was rewarded with a scholarship to play for the prestigious, Ivy League, Cornell University Big Red Football Team. Once again, Ralph was a Letterman and excelled as a Defensive Lineman for his team. In 1983, he was honoured by being chosen to the All Ivy 1st Team, and in 1984 graduated with a Bachelor of Science, Civil Engineering Degree. -
Ray McGibbon Ray McGibbon began boxing around the age of 15 and his boxing career led him to box in Madison Square Gardens and Maple Leaf Gardens. In 1946, Ray was a Golden Gloves finalist. The same year, Ray and his brother John established the St. Patrick’s Boxing Gym. In the late 1970's, Ray McGibbon started the Niagara Falls Boxing Club with John Degazio. Through the years, Ray coached many champions. He was part of the 1983 and 1984 Ontario Boxing Championships, when the Niagara Falls Boxing Gym won the Trophy for Most Outstanding Team, winning eight gold medals, one silver and one bronze medal. Ray coached many boxers who became Ontario and Canadian Champions and Olympians including Tom"The Bomb" Glesby and Billy"the Kid"Irwin. Ray also coached Brian Kelly and Mike Strange, both former Inductees of the Niagara Falls Sports Wall of Fame. Each year, the St. Catharines Boxing club hosts the “Ray McGibbon’s Gloves Tournament”, named after Ray McGibbon. This tournament is a stepping stone for many amateur boxers to advance their competitive careers as boxers from across Ontario contend for the coveted title. Ray is known by his boxers as being an “old school coach” and would spar with his fighters regularly, even though he was in his fifties or sixties. Ray still drops by the gym and lends a hand to his former boxes, Bill Irwin and Mike Strange, who are now coaches. Ray’s legacy will be brought to young boxers for years to come as his old school boxing techniques will be passed down from generation to generation! -
Danny D'Addio In 1974, at 37, Danny D’Addio and the members of The Niagara Falls Rotary Club were invited to a luncheon at the local YMCA. A member of the fitness class interrupted the meeting, suggesting their time would be better spent working out in their noon fitness program. Danny took up the challenge and enrolled the next day. Within months he discovered he had an extraordinary talent for running—especially marathons, exhibiting both the speed and endurance needed for the 42.2-kilometre (26 miles) event. That summer, Danny entered a YMCA regional cross-country race in Hamilton where he finished first in his age division, proving to himself that he could compete at a higher level. The competitive spirit was now in his blood, and with the help of a local seasoned marathon runner he set out on a training program that would see him become one of the top long-distance runners in the area, on either side of the border. In 1976 he accomplished a feat that was rare at the time: he ran two marathons in one week. The first was on Labour Day Monday at Rochester, New York, and the following Saturday he won his age division at a marathon in Erie, Pennsylvania. Danny routinely medalled in the newly organized Skylon International Marathon, from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, taking individual and team awards as a member of Track Niagara. As well, he competed in notable events such as the Boston Marathon, Blossom Festival, Run for the Grapes and the historic Man-a-Mile race from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Oakes Park. -
