Murray Costello played four seasons in the NHL in the 1950s, but his biggest impact came after his playing days. Costello spent nearly 20 years in charge of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (now Hockey Canada) and was a key figure in the International Ice Hockey Federation for another 14 years.

The University of Ottawa law graduate used his platform to influence positive change in hockey. He set up screening programs and background checks in minor hockey, spoke out against bullying and helped inspire amazing growth in women’s hockey during his time in leadership.

Costello is a member of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the IIHF Hall of Fame and the Order of Canada. He’s called Ottawa home for 50 years and will now become a member of his local Sport Hall of Fame as well.
