Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame

The Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame was established in 1964, to honor outstanding athletes, teams and sport builders in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The facilities were originally located in the then Halifax Metro Centre and then were relocated to the World Trade and Convention Centre adjacent to the Arena. The facility would close in the fall of 2020. As part of a May 12, 2022 announcement plans were revealed to move the Hall back to the Scotiabank Centre sometime in 2023.
It is home to one of three copies of the AVCO World Trophy, which was symbolic of the World Hockey Association playoff championship with the other two being located in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto and the other one in Winnipeg.
