Our second inductee to the Manitoba Touch Football Hall of Fame is Sonya Panchuk. Sonya was elected by the Hall of Fame committee in the veteran players category. To be considered for selection in the Veterans category a player’s career must have primarily occurred prior to 2008 (the inaugural year of the PIT Football League), or have been retired from active playing for a minimum of two years. There is no minimum win or statistical criterion to be selected for this category as many statistics were not kept prior to 2008. Players and/or teams from all leagues in Manitoba's History of Touch Football may be considered in the Veterans category as we pay homage to the pioneers of the game of touch football.
Congratulations to Sonya Panchuk, who was one of the most dominant female players ever to step on the field. The veteran players nomination is just one of six possible entrance ways into the Hall of Fame. Sonya began her career in the University of Manitoba flag league, through to the Mazur league (MFL) and WTFL (Winnipeg Touch Football League), and finally retiring as a player in the PIT. Check out just some of her highlights:
🔥 2-time men's division scoring leader (including once in Division 3!)
🔥 11-time touchdown pass leader
🔥 4-time women's division scoring leader
🔥 6-time women's division provincial champion
🔥 Multi-time Labour Day Tournament Champion
