The Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame and Museum is very pleased and excited to announce that we have acquired the original sign from the offices of the IBA – International Basketball Association – located at 547 Notre Dame Avenue in Winnipeg.
The Winnipeg Cyclone, a professional team playing out of the Winnipeg Convention Centre, were members of the IBA 1995-2001 and Earl Barish, recently inducted as a builder, was the league President. We are very grateful to Mr. Barish and his son, Andy, for thinking of us and ensuring that this unique artifact will be preserved.
It had been stored in the building on Notre Dame for many years and was cracked. We had it trimmed and framed before putting it on display at our Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame and Museum site on the 2nd floor at the University of Winnipeg Duckworth Centre.
Check it out on your next visit and here’s a hint – look up.
