It is our hope that this more user-friendly network will enable us to communicate more effectively with our membership and encourage others to join our ranks in honoring those stellar athletes, coaches and other sports luminaries who have brought honor to themselves and the Western Pennsylvania region through their legendary achievements as competitors, instructors, administrators , mentors and chroniclers.When visiting our web-site, please take the time to review the celebrated accomplishments of our past inductees and, if you are not currently listed on our membership rolls, learn how becoming a member entitles you to nominate worthy candidates for enshrinement and grants voting privileges for both the Robert “Tick” Cloherty – Western Chapter and the Pennsylvania State Hall of Fame ballots.

I’m sure you recognize that the Western Chapter has been renamed the Robert “Tick” Cloherty – Western Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. I am ever so grateful and humbled by this action by our Board of Directors. I am very thankful to the Board and to you, the membership, for all your support over my 30-years as your president. It truly has been a labor of love having the opportunity to help bring recognition to the many great athletes, coaches, administrators, officials, and members of the media within our region of Western Pennsylvania. In passing the reins of leadership to Dan Carr I am confident that the work of the chapter will continue to grow and the Annual Ceremonial be better that ever.

Sincerely,

R. J. “Tick” Cloherty,
Past President, Western Chapter: PA Sports Hall Of Fame
