Former Black Press Media CEO honoured for his contributions to women’s softball
A White Rock resident has been inducted into the University of British Columbia’s Sports Hall of Fame.
Rick O’Connor was welcomed into the hall’s class of 2025 as a builder for his contributions to the UBC women’s softball program. He was honoured at a recent event along with Derek Sankey (athlete), Marek Jedrzejek (builder), and the 2003-2004 UBC Women’s Basketball Team.
No stranger to softball, O’Connor first started coaching the sport to his eldest son in 1986 in Kamloops, and returned to coaching with the White Rock Renegades when his youngest daughter started playing in 1998, and in the 2000s as well.
He was also the catalyst behind the creation and building of the UBC softball program.
