A Long Overdue Ceremony in Great Falls - SpartanGibbles - 03-07-2023

Grizzlies Grizzlies Grizzlies Grizzlies Grizzlies



Hello everyone, Co-GM of the Great Falls Grizzlies SpartanGibbles here to present something that has been long overdue for our glorious franchise. This has been something Chevy tasked me with when I came aboard in S67 and I am glad to say it is finally coming to fruition. The Management of the Great Falls Grizzlies is extremely proud to honor some of our distinguished alumni for their contributions and time in Great Falls. We have had the honor of many great players making their start in Great Falls, but some have stood out above the all as cornerstones of the franchise. This ceremony will catch all previous draft classes that are no longer eligible to compete in the SMJHL. Afterwards, the GFG HOF will be a seasonal post for each draft class as they collectively are aged out of the Juniors.



Therfore, it is my distinct pleasure to announce 6 new additions to the Great Falls Grizzlies Hall of Fame.
