Our sixth,and final, inductee to the Manitoba Touch Football Hall of Fame is the late Shaun Howell. Shaun was unanimously selected by the Hall of Fame committee in the Officials category. To be considered for selection in the Official’s category, an official must have displayed the leadership, ability, and understanding of the rules to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for the players. The official must have conducted themselves in a professional manner both on and off the field and be recognized and respected by his/her peers as a Head official, back judge or sideline referee. The Officials Hall of Fame has been created as a means of recognizing and honouring those officials who have provided many years of outstanding and dedicated service to our sport.
Congratulations to Shaun Howell who helped get the PIT football league off the ground.
🔥 Began officiating in the WTFL, moving to the PIT in Spring of 2012
🔥 Was part of the "golden age" of PIT officiating, along with Brad Kelm, Donny Desaulniers, and Brent Sliwiany. The four officials lent instant credibility to our league
🔥 Officiated 557 games in the PIT.
🔥 Patented the finger wag as an official. You didn't cross Shaun once he gave you the finger wag! Off the field, one of the most gregarious individuals you will ever meet.
🔥 One of the few nationally certified officials. Officiated at both Provincial and National tournaments.
Shaun had discussed coming out of retirement to officiate just months before he passed away from cancer. Truly a great official and great person off the field. He will truly be missed, as both an official and a friend. Check out Shaun's Hall of Fame bio here: https://pit.redzoneleagues.com/menu/dhillon-auto-hall-of-fame
