CHSCA HOF AWARDS HISTORY

At the initial Connecticut High School Coaches Association executive board meeting, during the school year 1977-1978, Larry McHugh suggested initiating a Connecticut High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The first induction was held on March 31, 1978 at the Sheraton Park Plaza in New Haven during a noontime ceremony. The Connecticut High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame committee meets each year during a May meeting to discuss and select the next CHSCA Hall of Fame class.
