Virtue and Moir, St-Pierre, and Ferbey among 2023 Order of Sports recipients

The figure skating super tandem added another accomplishment to their impressive resumé Thursday, as they headlined the 2023 inductees into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame alongside celebrated mixed martial artist Georges St-Pierre.

Eleven individuals were awarded the Order of Sport, the country’s highest sporting honour. The ceremony took place in the great hall of Gatineau’s Museum of History, just across the Ottawa River from Parliament Hill.

“What we were doing didn’t feel extraordinary when we were two kids at seven and nine and we were up at 6 a.m. in a hockey arena,” Virtue added. “But today makes those ordinary moments feel rather special. Nicknamed “Rush,” St-Pierre is now an actor and advocate for mental health awareness and supportive of anti-bullying initiatives.

“What an honour this is for our team to receive this prestigious award today. It’s something we never ever thought we would achieve. We never thought we were good enough. But here we are today,” Ferbey said. “It’s blown us away.”
