The Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame and Museum was very happy to welcome Tracy LaPointe recently on her visit to Winnipeg from her home in Ontario. Tracy’s mother, Pat Roberts, was one of the true pioneers in women’s basketball in Manitoba. She played for the CUAC (Canadian Ukrainian Athletic Club) Blues and the Winnipeg Dominos in the 1940s and 1950s. As a part of her time in Winnipeg, Tracy donated some outstanding pictures, a scrapbook, CUAC Yearbooks, and crests, all from her mother’s career.
The items have become an important addition to our archival collection and soon will be available on Musetoba, our online database, through the public portal. The Hall of Fame and Museum welcomes donations of all basketball-related materials and is a very appropriate place for these items to be preserved and displayed.
